Speedster Hasan Ali grabs another record for Pakistan

Pakistan fast bowler Hasan Ali added another feat to his blooming career after becoming only the second bowler in T20 history to dismiss five batsmen bowled in a match.

The feat was achieved on Monday at the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), where Hasan, representing the Comilla Victorians, bamboozled the batting line of the Dhaka Dynamites. The number one ODI bowler showcased his skill at Dhaka with impressive bowling figures of 5 for 20, as Dynamites crumble to 128 in 19 overs.

Initially, Hasan crushed the Dynmanites top order claiming the wickets of Evin Lewis and Mehedi Maruf for 7 and 0, respectively. The Pakistani speedster then returned with a bang in the later part of the inning as he crushed the Dynamites tail picking up Mosaddek Hussain, Mohammad Saddam and Abu Hider on 1,1 and 0, respectively, to complete his five-wicket haul.

Interestingly, Bangladesh’s fast bowler Rubel Hossain, was the first to achieve the feat also at BPL, in 2010.
