Hasan Ali making his perfect comeback

Talking about the match, South Africa need 218 runs to grab the match, and they are currently standing at 152/3. Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma are currently on the crease. Out of the three wickets that South Africa have lost, two have been clinched by Hasan Ali only. Ali is having the perfect outing of his career where he landed amid too much appreciation already when he bagged a five-wicket haul in the first innings of the game.

South Africa would be trying their level best to turn tables in their favour as hosts are looking favourite to seal the series. Ali used to be the lifeline of the Pakistan cricket team in the era of Sarfaraz Ahmed, and his celebration was a thing to watch out for in the field. However, the equation changed in the 2019 World Cup, and he proved to be too costly. He had to miss the action on the international stage since then but was looking for a perfect time to mark his dominance again.

And with the way he is moving up now, it seems he got successful in his mission to mark a stylish comeback.
