PSL 2026, Rawalpindi: In the 39th match of Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026, the Rawalpindi Pindies team had to face another crushing defeat. In this match played at the National Stadium in Karachi, Hyderabad Kingsmen defeated Rawalpindi by 108 runs. The Rawalpindi team could win only one match out of 10 this season and is now out as well. The team’s batting and bowling flopped badly throughout the season.
Rawalpindi team lost the last match also
In their last match, Rawalpindi’s team, which won the toss and came to bowl first, looked completely helpless in front of Hyderabad’s strong batting. Hyderabad scored a huge score of 244 runs for 6 wickets in 20 overs. Glenn Maxwell scored 70 runs in 37 balls, while Usman Khan made an important contribution of 54 runs and Kushal Perera made an unbeaten 50 runs. In reply, Rawalpindi’s innings was reduced to 136 runs in 17.1 overs. On behalf of the team, Usman Khawaja played an unbeaten inning of 66 runs, but the rest of the batsmen could not last long. Captain Mohammad Rizwan could also score 26 runs on 16 balls in this match.
Hunain Shah performed brilliantly in Hyderabad’s bowling and took 4 wickets for just 22 runs in 3.1 overs. Akif Javed also took 3 wickets. On the other hand, Rawalpindi’s bowlers proved to be expensive and no bowler could be effective. Which became the big difference between victory and defeat in this match.
Mohammad Rizwan’s bat did not work
The biggest reason for the poor performance of the Rawalpindi Pindies team in the Pakistan Super League 2026 was their captain Mohammad Rizwan. Mohammad Rizwan could score only 204 runs in 10 matches at a poor average of 20.40. During this period his strike rate was also only 116.57. The surprising thing was that he could not score a half-century in even a single match. That is, he gave a bad start to the team throughout the season and the team was out of the league with just 1 win. During this period, his captaincy also remained under question. None of his moves worked.
