ICC Champions Trophy 2017: 5 best bowling performances in the tournament

#2 Hasan Ali vs South Africa

Hasan Ali added another dimension to the Pakistan bowling line-up

Fresh from a 124-run thumping at the hands of India in the opener, Pakistan came into the match knowing another defeat will see their dream of winning the CT die. After winning the toss, South Africa decided to bat first but were jolted by Imad Wasim’s dual blow to send Quinton de Kock and AB de Villiers back.

Having lost Hashim Amla early on as well, the Proteas needed Faf du Plessis to step up and take the team to a respectable total. However, Hasan Ali had other ideas. Du Plessis played a widish delivery down on his own wickets and Duminy followed after handing Babar Azam an easy catch, both on Hasan’s bowling.

Parnell walked out, only to be humiliated by a peach of a delivery from the 23-year-old, which straightened up after pitching and took the left-hander’s off stump along. Hasan was named the Man of The Match and rightfully so as he rattled South Africa’s middle order and returned with figures of 8-1-24-3.
