In the 36th Match of PSL 2026 between Hyderabad Kingsmen and Islamabad United at Karachi, three players stood out with exceptional performances that helped dismantle the Kingsmen’s batting order.
Richard Gleeson was the standout bowler for Islamabad United, 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, setting the tone early in the match and leaving Hyderabad struggling.
Shadab Khan also played a pivotal role with the ball, picking up 3 wickets for 13 runs in 3 overs. His tight bowling put further pressure on the Kingsmen, dismissing Kusal Perera, Irfan Khan, and Hassan Khan, leaving Hyderabad on the back foot.
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, ensuring the Kingsmen’s collapse to a meager total of 80 runs.
These three bowlers were the backbone of Islamabad United’s dominant performance, ensuring they kept the Kingsmen’s batting attack under tight control throughout the innings. The combined efforts of Gleeson, Shadab, and Imad helped dismantle Hyderabad's batting, leaving them with little hope of recovering in the match.
