Result – Did Hyderabad Kingsmen Just Pull Off the Impossible?
Let’s not overcomplicate it—Hyderabad Kingsmen vs Rawalpindiz ended in a statement win. Not just a win, honestly… more like a message to the whole tournament.
Hyderabad Kingsmen: 244/6
Rawalpindiz: 136 all out
Result: Hyderabad Kingsmen won by 108 runs
And yeah… if you’re thinking that margin sounds brutal, you’re right. It was.
Why does this result feel bigger than just numbers?
Because this wasn’t just about points. This was about survival.
- Kingsmen needed a BIG margin
- Net run rate had to flip (and it did… dramatically)
- One team’s win = another team’s exit
I’ve seen games like this before… but rarely do they go this perfectly for one side. Almost suspiciously perfect, if I’m being honest.
How Did Hyderabad Kingsmen vs Rawalpindiz Slip Away So Fast?
At one point, Rawalpindiz were actually… doing okay.
55 in the first 5 overs. Chase looked alive. Maybe even comfortable.
And then—boom. Collapse.
The over that broke everything
Enter Hunain Shah.
- Bowled Mohammad Rizwan
- Got Kamran Ghulam out within the same burst
Suddenly, it wasn’t a chase anymore… it was survival. And they didn’t survive long.
Cricket does this sometimes—it gives you hope and then just… takes it away in 6 balls.
Man of the Match – Who Actually Owned This Game?
No confusion here.
Hunain Shah – 4 wickets for 22 runs
Why this spell mattered more than it looks
- Took key wickets when Rawalpindiz were still in it
- Didn’t just take wickets… took important ones
- Finished the game with that insane yorker
That last ball to Ben Sears? I’m not even exaggerating—it felt like slow motion.
Top Scorers – Who Showed Up When It Mattered?
Now this is where things get interesting.
Hyderabad Kingsmen batting
- Glenn Maxwell – 70
Finally. Like… finally. He hadn’t done much all tournament, but this? This was peak Maxwell. - Usman Khan – 54*
Quiet innings, but super important. Held everything together. - Kusal Perera – steady contribution
Rawalpindiz batting
- Usman Khawaja – 66*
Honestly… deserved better. One-man fight.
And that’s the thing—when only one guy is fighting, it usually ends like this.
Best Bowlers – Who Actually Made the Difference?
Kingsmen bowling unit
- Hunain Shah – 4/22 (match-winner, no debate)
- Akif Javed – 3/38
- Glenn Maxwell – tight overs + a wicket
Rawalpindiz bowling (…rough day)
- Mohammad Amir – 0/57
Yeah… that hurt. A lot. - Saad Masood – 2 wickets
If I’m being real, Rawalpindiz never controlled the game with the ball. Not even for a phase.
