Emotional Labuschagne Leads Hyderabad Into PSL Final
Hunain Shah held his nerve with yorkers in the final over as Hyderabad Kingsmen sealed a two-run playoff victory.
- On Friday, the Hyderabad Kingsmen defeated Islamabad United by two runs in Lahore, securing a Pakistan Super League final berth as fast bowler Hunain Shah defended the total in a dramatic last over, stranding Islamabad at 184-7.
- Following a slow start to its debut season where Hyderabad lost four consecutive games, the franchise won seven of its last eight matches, including playoff victories against Multan Sultans and Islamabad, enabling Friday's breakthrough.
- Usman Khan's unbeaten 61 and Kusal Perera's 37 off 21 balls lifted Hyderabad to 186-5, while Chris Green and Faheem Ashraf nearly snatched victory by smashing 22 runs in the penultimate over.
- Islamabad required a final-ball boundary to win, but Hunain Shah executed a precise leg-stump yorker to deny Green, prompting Hyderabad captain Marnus Labuschagne to describe the finish as "berserk" as teammates celebrated.
- The Pakistan Super League final will feature Hyderabad against the Babar Azam-led Peshawar Zalmi on Sunday, as the debut franchise seeks to cap its season with a title.
