The Pakistan fast bowler, Hasan Ali has had a decent international career for the country as he has often made contributions to help his team win games. However, sometimes there are just some moments on the pitch and the players hope that it never happened. One such moment took place with Hasan Ali in the game between the West Indies and Pakistan. It was the first T20I of a four-match series.
Cricketers have their ‘oops moments’ in the game. Sometimes players fail to execute simple and easy things and end up doing the hard stuff comfortably. This was the case with Hasan Ali. who gifted a West Indian batsman a life. That too, none other than Kieron Pollard, the West Indian skipper.

It should have been a simple runout. But, Hasan Ali failed to execute the run-out.

The West Indies scored 85/5 in their nine overs and they looked good to defend the score. However, the Rain Gods had other ideas and the game was washed out. There was no result and the fans had to be content with just one inning of play. However, they would take some joy in knowing that there are still three more T20Is left. A lot of action still remains and anything can happen in those matches. The focus of both teams will be to put in a solid performance and get the right result.
