Islamabad United’s bowlers dominated Hyderabad Kingsmen in their PSL 2026 match, securing a convincing victory.
Gleeson’s Early Onslaught
Richard Gleeson spearheaded the Islamabad United attack, taking 3 wickets for just 9 runs in his 3 overs. His incredible figures included the wickets of Maaz Sadaqat, Marnus Labuschagne, and Saim Ayub. Gleeson’s performance set the tone early, leaving Hyderabad struggling.
Shadab and Imad Pile on the Pressure
Shadab Khan also played a pivotal role with the ball. He picked up 3 wickets for 13 runs in 3 overs. Shadab’s tight bowling put further pressure on the Kingsmen, dismissing Kusal Perera, Irfan Khan, and Hassan Khan.
Imad Wasim continued to shine as a reliable bowler, claiming 3 wickets for 21 runs in 3.5 overs. His critical spells saw the dismissal of Glenn Maxwell, Hunain Shah, and Mohammad Ali.
Kingsmen’s Collapse
The combined efforts of Gleeson, Shadab, and Imad helped dismantle Hyderabad’s batting. They ensured they kept the Kingsmen’s batting attack under tight control throughout the innings. The Kingsmen collapsed to a meager total of 80 runs, leaving them with little hope of recovering in the match.
