Show Mercy To Pakistan Cricket: Hasan Ali Faces Brutal Backlash After Leaking 48 Runs in Tense T20I Defeat

By Snikio Sports Team | Updated: August 3, 2025

A Match Slipping Through Fingers

It was a match Pakistan looked set to steal from the jaws of defeat — until Hasan Ali took the ball for the 19th over.
The second T20I between Pakistan and the West Indies turned into a nerve-wracking spectacle as the visitors pulled off a last-ball heist, leveling the series 1-1. Pakistan had only 133 runs on the board — hardly a winning total — but their bowlers nearly spun magic out of it. Then came the final stretch, and with it, a storm of disappointment.

🏏 A Gritty Defense Unravels

Mohammad Nawaz was brilliant upfront, sending three West Indian batters back cheaply and tilting the match in Pakistan’s favour. But Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd refused to fold. They steadied the chase, absorbing pressure with calm maturity.
At 16 runs needed off the final two overs, the momentum was swinging. In a decision now under fire, Hasan Ali was brought on for the 19th. And what followed left fans stunned.

🔥 The Over That Changed Everything

Hasan started with a wide, then followed with a no-ball. It felt like déjà vu for many Pakistani fans who’ve seen such meltdowns before. Romario Shepherd didn’t hesitate — smashing a six, a four, and collecting 16 runs in that single over.
With just 8 runs required off the final six balls, even Shaheen Afridi’s heroics couldn’t save the game. West Indies clinched victory with a last-ball single, silencing the home crowd.

🚨 Selection Under Scrutiny

Why wasn’t Haris Rauf or Mohammad Wasim Jr. trusted with the penultimate over? That’s the question fans and former cricketers are now asking. Was it a gamble on experience or just poor match awareness?
The silence from team management has done little to douse the heat.

📅 What’s Next?

Pakistan must win not just the match, but back the faith of its cricketing faithful.

Hasan Ali’s international future may not hang on one match, but his performance raised important questions.
If Pakistan wants to build a formidable squad for the 2026 T20 World Cup, these are the moments where tough calls must be made.
