DHAKA – Pakistani speedster Hasan Ali has equaled former Pakistani captain Imran Khan and legendary player Waqar Younis’ record for most wickets in a Test match.

Hasan, 27, delivered a match-winning performance against Bangladesh with a five-wicket move in the test cricket of a Pakistani fast pitcher in a calendar year.

With the latest figures, Hasan not only managed to be chosen among the Pakistani bowlers during the first rounds, but also etched his name into the history books with some of the best names.

Hassan Ali is now part of five-fers in test cricket within a calendar year, previously the same records were made in 1982, 1990 and 1993.

The young pacer used to reap a lot of hatred after his ‘costly mistake’ in the T20 World Cup, but he returned in the limited series against The Tigers, and now he proved himself once again with a 5-wicket haul in the first round of first test match in Chittagong.

He broke the opponent’s opposition in the first session on the second day as they resumed at 253-4. The talented bowler was the man behind Bangladesh’s batting collapse of lower order earlier today as he took quick wickets to ensure a careful Bangladesh was limited to 330 runs in their first innings.

Hasan has so far won 37 wickets in seven Test matches this year, which includes two fives against South Africa, two five-wicket hauls against Zimbabwe and a five-wicket haul in the ongoing series against The Tigers.

Meanwhile, Men in Green scored 117 after 45 overs on the second day. Babar’s led page is set on a big score with this partnership built by Asad Shafique and Abid Ali.
