In their final league match, the Hyderabad Kingsmen defeated Rawalpindiz by 108 runs. They posted a score of 244 runs for 6 wickets, while Rawalpindiz managed only 136 runs. This victory secured their place in the playoffs based on net run-rate.

Azam criticized Rizwan for his remarks, highlighting that his team had won only 2 of their last 18 matches. “It was a very bad statement, to be honest,” Azam said. He expressed disappointment given Rizwan’s experience as a former captain.

Rizwan clarified that his comments were personal opinions made during a strategic timeout. He told Usman Khawaja that considering how Hyderabad played, they did not deserve to qualify. After Azam’s response, he apologized for his remarks.

Azam emphasized that one performance should not determine a team’s qualification. He pointed out that the Kingsmen had previously defeated Rawalpindiz by over 100 runs. He stated, “They should also do some self-analysis about what they deserve and what they don’t deserve.”

The competitive nature of the PSL is evident in this exchange. The rivalry between teams adds intensity to each match and commentary surrounding it. As teams prepare for playoffs, further developments may arise from these tensions.
