Multan Sultans look to continue their winning momentum against winless debutants Hyderabad Kingsmen at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. Sultans started PSL 2026 with a commanding 5-wicket win over Islamabad United, with Josh Philippe (55 off 35) and captain Ashton Turner (43 off 28) leading a clinical chase.
Kingsmen, meanwhile, sit at the bottom of the points table after suffering heavy defeats against Lahore Qalandars (69 runs) and Quetta Gladiators (40 runs). Captain Marnus Labuschagne needs his struggling batting unit to finally fire. The clash takes place on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, at 7:30 PM IST (2:00 PM GMT).
