Wicketkeeper-batter Usman Khan smashed a stunning century to lead Hyderabad Kingsmen to a four-wicket win over Multan Sultans in the 33rd match of the 2026 Pakistan Super League (PSL 1)1 at the National Bank Stadium, Karachi.
Chasing a massive 214-run target, the Kingsmen got over the line with three balls to spare, thanks largely to Usman’s breathtaking knock and a late cameo from Hassan Khan.
The chase did not begin well for Hyderabad, who lost Maaz Sadaqat early with just 13 runs on the board. Saim Ayub also failed to make an impact, while Kusal Perera fell for a golden duck as the Kingsmen slipped to 48/3, giving Multan early control of the contest.
That collapse, however, brought Usman to the crease, and he completely changed the direction of the match. Batting at No. 5, he launched a brutal counterattack and shared a match-defining 123-run stand with captain Marnus Labuschagne.
Both batters reached their half-centuries during the partnership, with Labuschagne playing the anchor role before falling for 61 off 41 balls, hitting nine fours.
Usman kept going and brought up his century at the end of the 17th over. He eventually made a blistering 101 off 47 deliveries, hammering 10 sixes and five fours in a knock that put Hyderabad on course for one of the most memorable chases of the season.
Multan briefly fought back when Peter Siddle dismissed both Glenn Maxwell and Usman in the 18th over, but the Kingsmen still held their nerve. Requiring 26 from the final two overs, Hassan Khan struck a rapid 24 to finish the job.
For Multan, Siddle and Ismail picked up three wickets each.
Earlier, Multan Sultans posted a formidable 213/7 after being asked to bat first, with Smith and Farhan laying the platform through a dominant 132-run opening stand.
Farhan scored 66 off 43 balls, while Smith stole the show with a brilliant 106 off 50 deliveries, smashing 12 fours and six sixes. His century came in spectacular fashion during a 28-run over off Hunain Shah.
Multan looked set for an even bigger total, but Hyderabad pulled things back late by taking four wickets in the last two overs.
For the Kingsmen, Akif Javed was the pick of the bowlers with 3/30, while Mohammad Ali, Glenn Maxwell, Hassan Khan, and Hunain Shah took one wicket each.
