Hyderabad Kingsmen were under pressure before the virtual eliminator against Rawalpindiz, having already suffered four defeats in a row at the start of the ongoing Pakistan Super League season, so they needed a big win to stay alive in the tournament.
Batting first, Hyderabad Kingsmen suffered a batting collapse in the middle overs, and that’s when Maxwell took charge. The star all-rounder smashed the Rawalpindi bowler all around the park to score 70 runs from 37 balls, featuring eight boundaries and three sixes.
Interestingly, Maxwell was sent to bat at number 7; still, he managed to play a key role in Hyderabad Kingsmen pulling off a massive 106-run win over Rawalpindiz in their PSL 2026 game. Chasing 245, Rawalpindiz was never in the game. However, Usman Khawaja tried his best and scored 66 not out, but he didn’t get support from the other end.
This win helped Hyderabad Kingsmen move into the top four, knocking Lahore Qalandars out of the tournament. Now, Hyderabad will face Multan Sultans in the eliminator. On the other side, Islamabad United will play against Peshawar Zalmi for a place in the PSL 2026 final.
