Hasan Ali, who is renowned for his numerous ball-related accomplishments for the Pakistani squad, has been absent from the national team for a while after missing the T20 World Cup. In the Pakistan Cup 2022, a domestic 50-over competition in the nation, he is now creating waves in domestic cricket, shockingly not with the ball but with the bat.
In their opening innings, Sindh scored a staggering 286 runs before being bowled out in 48.3 overs. Saifullah Bangash slammed a quickfire 54 from 56 balls, while Saim Ayub struck a hundred in 81 balls. Usman Qadir, a leg-spinner, was Sindh’s best bowler, taking 5 wickets for 61 runs.
Southern Punjab was reduced to 16/4 in the second inning, which put them in serious trouble. The innings were then restarted by Usman Salahuddin with his 126-ball 89. Arafat Minhas also scored 81 runs off of 78 balls, but it was Hassan Ali’s last-ball blitzkrieg with the bat that enabled Sindh to reach the mark with 7 balls remaining.
This was not a fluke innings from Hasan Ali, as earlier too he has shown his exploits with the bat. He has one half-century in ODI cricket for Pakistan. At the first-class level, Hasan Ali has amassed 1346 runs in 71 innings, including five 50s and a century as well.
Hasan Ali recently found himself in some trouble when he was spotted getting aggressive with some supporters at a local game.
