Hasan Ali in T20 Blast (Source:@VitalityBlast/X.com)
Hasan Ali is currently playing for Birmingham Bears in the T20 Blast and has displayed good consistency, showing shades of his 2017 Champions Trophy heroics in the same country.
So far, the Pakistan pacer has picked 16 wickets in just seven innings. He has grabbed wickets in five out of the seven games played so far, and in the latest match against Leicestershire, the bowler picked up a four-fer to take his team to an important win.
Hasan Ali Makes New Ball Talk In The Powerplay
Hasan Ali picked all four of his wickets inside the Powerplay. He was greeted with a six on the very first ball of his spell, but in the same over, he removed Rishi Patel and Shan Masood on consecutive deliveries to bring things back under his control.
In the final over of the Powerplay, the right-arm pacer bowled Rehan Ahmed with a beauty and then got the better of Kimber on the fifth ball to put Leicestershire on the back foot very early in the game.

Those four wickets in the Powerplay helped Birmingham control the game, and Leicestershire batters could not score at a desired rate. Outside the Powerplay too, Hasan Ali bowled well and gave away just 12 runs in his last two overs to keep his team ahead in the match.
His performance helped Birmingham reduce Leicestershire to just 154, and Hasan Ali's team eventually won the game by six wickets.
Overall, this was Hasan Ali's second-best performance in the season. His best came against Derbyshire early in the tournament, where he picked up a six-fer. Thus, the Pakistan bowlers' performance has played a big role in Birmingham's success this year and they would be hoping that he continues to perform in the same vein.
