Rawalpindiz won the toss and chose to field first against Hyderabad Kingsmen in the second-last group match of PSL 11 at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi on Sunday, according to Beyond Time News.
Must-Win Situation for Kingsmen
Hyderabad Kingsmen, led by Marnus Labuschagne, are in sixth place on the points table and need a big win to stay in playoff contention. They must not only boost their points to reach 10 but also improve their net run rate to overtake Lahore Qalandars in fourth position.
Depending on the first innings total, the Kingsmen may require a massive victory margin—either chasing the target in around 10 overs or winning by approximately 85 runs to stay in the race.

Match Context
With playoffs approaching, this match holds high importance for the Kingsmen, while Rawalpindiz aim to end their season on a positive note despite being out of contention.
