Cricketers of the Week: April 9th – April 15th

#3 Hasan Ali

Hasan Ali has been an epitome of consistency so far.

The 23-year old medium-fast bowler produced his best ODI figures of 5 for 38 against West Indies in the second ODI in Guyana. Pakistan posted an impressive 282 in their 50 overs and Hasan Ali ensured West Indies never even had a sniff at any point in the chase. Ali picked up the wickets of Shai Hope and Kieran Powell in consecutive overs early in the innings.

He then returned to break the 58-run seventh wicket partnership by getting the wicket of Ashley Nurse who managed to score a 43-ball 44. Later, he shut down the West Indies resistance by picking the wickets of A Joseph and Jason Holder, the top scorer of the innings with 68, in the same over to finish with his second five-wicket haul. Pakistan won the match by 74 runs levelling the series before going on to win the third ODI.
