Consistency in T20Is paid dividends, suggests Hasan Ali

Pakistan emerged as the number one T20I team in the latest update of the ICC Team rankings by overhauling the Kiwis with 124 rating points. New Zealand’s comprehensive loss to India in the first T20I at Delhi did help Pakistan’s cause to overhaul the Kiwis.

Hasan Ali, who was recently crowned as the number one bowler in ODIs, congratulated the Pakistani team for their success in the shortest format of the game and claimed that it only due to their consistency which reaped rewards for the men in green.

“Congratulations to the PCB and the entire nation. Pakistan is now the number-one T20 team in the world. The satisfaction is obvious as our performance and consistency paid dividends”, asserted an ecstatic Hasan Ali during a visit to a local university.
