Regarded as one of the quickest fast bowlers around the world, Haris Rauf breathed fire on Wednesday in Match 1 of the Asia Cup 2023 at Multan Cricket Stadium. The 29-year-old, who took two wickets in his first five overs while allowing 16 runs, displayed an excellent bit of bowling to continue terrorizing the Nepal players, who were on their first-ever outing in the competition.

Haris' first wicket came during the third over of his day. He bowled a good length delivery onto the stumps clocked at 148 kmph, which Aarif Sheikh tried to slash after making some room. However, the ball's extreme pace had already defeated the Nepalese batsman before it rattled the middle stump.

Haris Rauf leaped in joy after getting his first wicket of the day, and rightly so. He had been searching for his wicket nonstop from the beginning, and he was finally rewarded with a superb delivery.

In the next over, Haris got another set-batter Sompal Kami. His slowest delivery of the day was 142 kmph, which showed how much effort he had put in before leaving the field after five overs with an impressive reading of 5-1-16-2.

Chasing 343, Nepal are left reeling at 90/6, and are on the verge of suffering a big-margin defeat.
