Peshawar Zalmi vs Hyderabad Kingsmen final: As it happened

Hyderabad Kingsmen batted first and bundled out for just 129 in 18 overs in the PSL 2026 final at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Saim Ayub at number three himself minted 54 of those runs from 50 balls with five boundaries and two huge sixes.

However, a four-wicket haul from Aaron Hardie triggered Kingsmen’s lower batting collapse in the backend of the innings. Nahid Rana also picked up match-winning figures of 2-22 in his four economical overs.

Mohammad Basit (1-22) and ‘Player of the Tournament’ Sufiyan Muqeem (1-23) both picked up a wicket each to claim two big ones in their combined seven-over spell.

In response, Peshawar Zalmi lost both their openers, including captain Babar Azam for a duck in the first over the run chase. Tottering at 40-4 in a chase of 130, Hardie at number four blasted 56* runs from just 39 balls with nine elegant boundaries. Abdul Samad also listed a quick 34-ball 48 to storm the Zalmi franchise past the Kingsmen in just 15.2 overs.
