Pakistan’s talented cricketer, Hasan Ali, opened up about his deep regret over a critical dropped catch that occurred during the semi-final match against Australia in the ICC T20I World Cup 2021. While Hasan recently celebrated the achievements of his team, the Birmingham Bears, in the Vitality Blast tournament, a fan on Twitter reminded him of the missed opportunity during the ICC tournament.
In response to the fan’s tweet, Hasan expressed his heartfelt remorse, acknowledging the significance of the dropped catch and its impact on the team’s chances in the semi-final. He conveyed his sadness and emphasized that the memory of the missed opportunity would stay with him forever.
“Even I still remember and will never forget till last breath or even after 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭,” Hasan lamented.
During the group stage of the ICC T20I World Cup 2021, Pakistan displayed exceptional performances, remaining unbeaten and securing victories against various teams. The highlight of their campaign came in the historic match against India, where Pakistan achieved a resounding ten-wicket win, a first in the history of ICC events.
However, the semi-final against Australia took an unfortunate turn when Hasan Ali failed to hold onto Matthew Wade’s catch in the 19th over. At that crucial moment, Australia required 20 runs off ten deliveries. The dropped catch proved to be costly, as Wade unleashed a relentless assault on the Pakistani bowlers, resulting in Australia’s victory.
Hasan’s regret over the missed catch reflects the passion and dedication he holds for the game. Despite his team’s overall success and remarkable performances, he deeply feels the weight of that specific moment and the impact it had on their campaign.
