‘I didn’t sleep for two days’ – guilty Hassan Ali recalls infamous incident

Pakistan’s fast bowler Hassan Ali has opened the door to the psychological challenges he faces after losing to Australia in the 2021 T20 World Cup semi-finals in November. The 27-year-old had a rough day in his office as he was aloof as both bowlers and outfielders.

The pacer ran 44 times in four rounds and was hit four times four times and one six times during his spell.To make matters worse, he threw a ball deep in the middle of the goal, giving Matthew Wade A lifeline and denied Shaheen Shah Afridi a very important wicket.

The missed opportunity proved costly as Wade beat Afridi with three sixes in the trot to take the Australian home. The Punjab-born racer said he found it difficult to sleep after the race and the whole development made him uneasy.

Hassan Ali says I want to keep improving and contributing

“It’s been the toughest time of my career so far and it’s hard to forget these things very quickly. Of course, as a professional, you have to keep going. To be honest, I haven’t revealed that to anyone until now, But I haven’t slept for two days. My wife was with me because I didn’t sleep and she was nervous,” Hassan Ali told Pakistan Cricket.

“I was quiet and sat on the sidelines because the falling catch kept popping up in my head, but on the way to Bangladesh I told myself I should keep going. In Bangladesh I did 500 in three days Catching the ball and also working on off the ball. I want to keep improving and contribute to the team’s success,” he added.

Pakistan, captained by Babar Azam, looked ominous in the competition, winning all five matches in the Super 12. Mohamed Rizwan’s 67, Farhar Zaman’s 32-ball 55 and Shadab Khan’s unbeaten four-wicket haul put them on the hunt against Aaron Finch and company for a long time, but they failed to keep the tension.
