Watch: Steve Smith Loses Cool, Smashes Bat in Anger During PSL 2026 Eliminator

Australian batter Steve Smith's frustration was caught on camera during a high-tension PSL 2026 Eliminator match. Playing for Multan Sultans against Hyderabad Kingsmen, Smith faltered with the willow and showed his disappointment after an early departure.

The event occurred just a few days after Smith had blasted a glorious century against the same opponents, however this encounter was very different and his team struggled at a must-win fixture.

Smith's Furious Reaction After Early Dismissal

This moment occurred during the third over of Multan Sultans' batting encounter after Hyderabad Kingsmen invited them to bat first. In an unfortunate turn of events, Smith failed to make the most of a chance provided at the tender score of seven by Maaz Sadaqat, when the young gun dropped a catch.

Mohammad Ali however rolled out a short and hard delivery in the next over. Smith attempted to go for a big shot square on leg, but failed to time the shot and mistimed it completely as Maaz Sadaqat took a clean catch this time.

With an early dismissal of Smith (13), Multan Sultans saw themselves falter from 28 for one at the end of the third over to 47 for three after the powerplay. As Smith walked off the ground, he looked fuming, and it later transpired that the experienced campaigner took his bat into the dressing room and smashed it on the floor.
