PSL 2026 continues with match five as two winless teams lock horns at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Sunday, March 29, 2026. Quetta Gladiators take on debutants Hyderabad Kingsmen in a crucial encounter for both sides.
This match will be played in front of an empty stadium without any crowd due to the ongoing Israel-Iran War. Quetta, the 2025 finalists, suffered a 14-run defeat against Karachi Kings in their opener, while Hyderabad Kingsmen were bowled out for just 130 in a 69-run thrashing by Lahore Qalandars.
Captain Saud Shakeel will look to fix the middle-order collapse issues, while Marnus Labuschagne needs his top-order to fire against an experienced Quetta spin attack. With no prior head-to-head record, both teams are desperate for their first win of the season. Let’s explore where you can watch this clash live.
