Quetta Gladiators Vs Hyderabad Kingsmen LIVE Score, PSL 2026: Meredith Strikes Again, Shamyl Departs | QG - 114/3 (13.2)

Shamyl Hussain has played a matured knock and prevented a collapse for Quetta Gladiators. He started on high tempo but slowed down once wickets started tumbling. Kept rotating the strike and took the game deep. Finally, after seeing left-arm spinner Hassan Khan bowling to him, he opens up again and launches him in the stands with two massive hits. At the same time, he completes his half-century as well.

The Hyderabad Kingsmen bowlers were keeping things tight for Gladiators and they were looking to find a release. Finally Marnus Labuschagne makes a few mistakes in his own over and Hasan Nawaz finds two sixes in two overs to get out of the pressure for some time. The partnership has been slowly growing between him and Shamyl and they will now look to change gears.

After a strong start in the first two overs, the Quetta Gladiators have found it difficult to go hard in the remaining overs of the powerplay. They have lost two wickets and both Riley Meredith and Maheesh Theekshana have bowled well. Shamyl started explosively but he had to curb his instincts due to the situation. They have played out the powerplay but will have to accelerate soon to get some momentum.

Riley Meredith looks in really great rhythm as he bowls a tight over and gets the Kingsmen another breakthrough. Sticks to his strength, the hard length and Rilee Rossouw gets beaten by the pace and bounce. His attempt to hack the ball down the ground faulters and the mistimed ball gently lobs to Marnus Labuschagne. He completes the remainder of the over cheaply. Gladiators in pressure now.

Quetta Gladiators lose their first wicket in the second over. Shamyl Hussain has looked the more dangerous batter and he was taking on both Maheesh Theekshana and Riley Meredith. Saud Shakeel wanted to join in but in his case, the pull shot off Meredith took a top edge. Hammad Azam settled and took a good catch. Shamyl is looking good and the Gladiators will hope that he plays long and deep.

Quetta Gladiators: Saud Shakeel (c), Shamyl Hussain, Khawaja Nafay, Rilee Rossouw, Hasan Nawaz, Ben McDermott (wk), Tom Curran, Ahmed Daniyal, Alzarri Joseph, Abrar Ahmed, Usman Tariq.

Hyderabad Kingsmen: Saim Ayub, Usman Khan (wk), Marnus Labuschagne (c), Irfan Khan, Maaz Sadaqat, Hassan Khan, Hammad Azam, Riley Meredith, Maheesh Theekshana, Akif Javed, Mohammad Ali.

Quetta Gladiators have won the toss and have opted to bat first today.

Explaining the decision, QG captain Saud Shakeel said, "We'll bat first. It's a new day, it's a good pitch and it might slow down as the game progresses. We didn't play our best cricket in the last game. We'll be looking at 200."
