Top Bowlers This Season

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sufyan Moqim | Peshawar Zalmi | 10 | 21 | 7.35 | 11.42 |
| Mohammad Ali | Hyderabad Kingsmen | 10 | 16 | 7.59 | 14.37 |
| Hunain Shah | Hyderabad Kingsmen | 9 | 16 | 8.65 | 12.43 |
| Iftikhar Ahmed | Peshawar Zalmi | 9 | 12 | 7.41 | 14.58 |
Babar Azam finishes the league stage with 588 runs at an average of 84. That is not just the best batting performance of PSL 2026, it is one of the finest individual campaigns in PSL history. Kusal Mendis at a strike rate of 169 alongside him makes Zalmi’s top order genuinely frightening to bowl at.
For Kingsmen, Usman Khan has been electric with the bat while Mohammad Ali and Hunain Shah have shared 32 wickets between them. Their bowling attack is why Kingsmen are here.
Head to Head
Last meeting: Zalmi beat Kingsmen by 4 wickets on April 8, 2026, in the league stage. Peshawar bowled Hyderabad out for 145 and chased it down on the final ball. A tight game that Zalmi edged, but Kingsmen showed they could compete against the tournament’s best side.
Finals change everything. Kingsmen’s run through the eliminators, beating Multan Sultans and then Islamabad United by just two runs, shows a team that knows how to win under pressure. That experience counts tonight.
