Hassan Ali hasn't had a great Asia Cup 2022 tournament so far. The all-rounder who was drafted into the Pakistan squad amid their injury crisis didn't get to play any matches barring the last match of Super 4 on Friday against Sri Lanka. Before the final, both sides made two changes to their playing XIs to try out some new combinations.
Hassan was thus included in the team but he didn't have a good outing in Dubai. While he couldn't even open his account with the bat, as he was dismissed on a duck, with the ball too, the all-rounder was disappointing. He bowled two overs at the time of writing, and by the time he had already given away 21 runs with an economy of 10.50.
Not just Indian fans, but plenty of Pakistani fans as well were frustrated with the 28-year-old's performance. While some fans questioned his place in the side, others wanted him to be excluded from the team for the final. There were plenty more who shared hilarious memes as usual.

Hassan Ali ko khilana sirf team ke saath ziadti nahi hai. Khud Hassan ke saath bhi ziadti hai. He needs a break from international cricket to regain his rhythm and confidence. It genuinely hurts to see him bowl like this. — Ali Asad (@aliasad1998) September 9, 2022
