Mohammad Haris is leading Pakistan A in the Emerging Asia Cup 2024 and after failing in the initial two matches, the right-handed batter has roared back in form with 71 off 49 balls. He hit six fours and three sixes in his knock and took his side to a strong total of 179 against UAE.
He came out to bat at the end of the second over when Pakistan A lost Omair Yousuf off a run out. The skipper kept the scoreboard ticking right from the onset and though other batters could not carry their good start, Haris batted till the end with great responsibility. The shot that took him to his fifty was also quite a stunning hit. It was the second delivery of the 17th over and Sanchit Sharma bowled it full on middle and leg. Mohammad Haris stayed deep in his crease and whipped it over deep square leg with great disdain, briging back memories of Virat Kohli's famous bottom hand flicks.
Mohammad Haris Delivers Timely Knock Ahead Of Selection
Haider Ali also batted well at the death and hit 32 off just 17 balls. He also hit three sixes and Pakistan A would be look set to notch up another win. They have won one and lost one so far in the tournament. The loss came against India A which was a close encounter while they clinched a comprehensive win in their second game against Oman.
Also, the knock is a timely one from Haris as the selection for the Australian tour is just around the corner. Haris is likely to be picked in the T20I squad because of his aggressive brand of cricket and now this knock would further strengthen his claim for a spot.
