Hero raha Hasan Ali, jiska teekha bowling ne Bangladesh ki batting ko uda diya, pehli baar T20I mein five wickets (5/30) jhata. Salman Ali Agha ke career-best 56 runs ke saath, Pakistan ne dhamakedaar batting aur tight fielding se match apne naam kiya. Ye Mike Hesson ka Pakistan ke white-ball coach ke roop mein pehla match tha, aur unhone apni shuruaat zabardast ki.
Pakistan ka Batting: Solid Target Set Kiya
Pakistan ne toss jeetkar pehle batting li aur 20 overs mein 201/7 ka bada score khada kiya. Shuruaat thodi shaky thi jab openers Saim Ayub aur Fakhar Zaman jaldi out ho gaye. Ayub, jo South Africa mein injury ke baad wapas aaya tha, pehli hi ball pe Mahedi Hasan ko catch de baitha. Shoriful Islam ne Fakhar ko inswinger se out kiya, aur Pakistan 2 overs mein 14/2 par tha. Fir Mohammad Haris ne tezi se counter kiya, Shoriful ke ek over mein teen chauke maar ke. Haris ne 31 run (18 balls) banaye par seventh over mein out ho gaya.
Captain Salman Ali Agha ne 56 run (34 balls) mein aag laga di, aath chauke aur ek chhakka maar ke. Scoops aur late cuts se unhone crowd ko khush kiya. Unka Hassan Nawaz ke saath 65 run ka partnership ne Pakistan ko 100 ke paar pahunchaya. Nawaz, PSL ka star, ne 44 run (22 balls) mein chaar chhakke lagaye, ek toh extra cover ke upar shandaar shot. Shadab Khan ne last mein 48 run (25 balls) thoke, jismein 18th over mein Rishad Hossain ke khilaaf 6, 6, 4 ka sequence tha. Aakhir ke overs mein thodi boundary ruk gayi, par 201 ka target Bangladesh ke liye bada challenge tha.
Hasan Ali ka Jalwa: Five Wickets Se Dhamaal
202 ka target chase karte hue Bangladesh ki batting shuru se hi ladkhada gayi. Hasan Ali, jo ek saal baad T20I team mein wapas aaya aur 2025 PSL mein 15 wickets le chuka tha, ne powerplay mein do jhatke diye. Dusre over mein Parvez Hossain Emon ko saste mein out kiya, fir chauthe over mein Tanzid Hasan (31 off 17) ko nikaal diya, Bangladesh 45/2 par thi. Captain Litton Das (48 off 30) aur Towhid Hridoy (17 off 22) ne third wicket ke liye 63 run jode, par Hridoy ka slow strike rate (77) ne pressure daal diya. Litton ko Shadab Khan ne backward point pe out karaya.
Hasan ne wapas aake Bangladesh ke middle order ko tabah kar diya. Uske slower balls aur bouncers ne kamaal kiya. 17th over mein Jaker Ali (36 off 20, teen chhakke) ko bouncer se out kiya, jab Abrar Ahmed ne short fine leg pe catch pakda. Last over mein Hasan ne apna fifer poora kiya, Tanzim Hasan Sakib (1 off 3) ko apne hi catch se out kiya aur Shoriful Islam (5 off 3) ko Shadab ke haathon long-off pe out karaya. Bangladesh 19.2 overs mein 164 pe dher ho gayi, 37 run se haar gayi.
Hasan ke 5/30 ne unhe Umar Gul, Imad Wasim aur Sufiyan Muqeem ke saath Pakistan ke T20I fifer club mein shamil kiya. Woh Bangladesh ke khilaaf fifer lene wala duniya ka paanchwa bowler bana, Deepak Chahar, Keemo Paul, Adam Zampa aur Nuwan Thushara ke saath.
Baaki Players aur Bangladesh ka Struggle
Shadab Khan ne 2 wickets liye, jabki Khushdil Shah, Salman Agha aur Faheem Ashraf ne ek-ek wicket chipkaya. Pakistan ki fielding, khaas kar circle ke andar, lajawab thi, jisse runs bache. Bangladesh ke Litton Das aur Jaker Ali ke bawajood, unka middle order strike rotate nahi kar paya aur boundaries bhi kam pade. Mustafizur Rahman, Soumya Sarkar aur Taskin Ahmed ke injuries ne team ko aur weaken kiya. UAE ke khilaaf 2-1 series haar ke baad yeh defeat unki T20I problems ko dikha gaya. Litton ne haar ke baad kaha ki bowling, batting aur fielding teeno mein kami thi, aur agli matches mein pura josh dikhana padega.
Context aur Aage ka Scene
Hasan Ali ka yeh performance uski wapsi ka jashn tha, jo elbow injury aur 2024 ke tough season ke baad aaya. 2025 PSL mein 15 wickets le kar woh Karachi Kings ke all-time top wicket-taker bhi bane. Match ne Salman Agha ke leadership mein nayi Pakistan team ko bhi dikhaya, jismein Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan aur Shaheen Shah Afridi nahi the, par Sahibzada Farhan aur Saim Ayub jaise PSL stars the. Bangladesh ke liye yeh haar unke Pakistan ke khilaaf 19 matches mein sirf 3 jeet ke record ko aur kharab karta hai.
Ab series ka doosra T20I, May 30, 2025 ko, Lahore mein hi hoga. Pakistan series seal karne ke mood mein hai, jabki Bangladesh ko wapas aane ke liye full dum lagana hoga. Hasan Ali ka fifer ne unhe Pakistan ke bowling ka naya baap dikha diya, aur Hesson ke naye era mein team ka confidence sky high hai.
