PAK vs SA: Hasan Ali out of the match against South Africa
Actually, Hasan Ali has been having fever since last night and he did not even participate in the practice session on Thursday, but he is out of the match against South Africa. 29-year-old Hasan was included in the squad for the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 after the injury to Naseem Shah.

If we talk about Hasan Ali's five matches in the World Cup 2023, then let us tell you that he has taken 8 wickets at an economy of 5.82. In such a situation, his exclusion from the team is no less than a shock for the Pakistan team.

At the same time, Mohammad Wasim is likely to play against South Africa in place of Hasan Ali. If Mohammad Wasim gets a chance, he will play in the World Cup for the first time.

Pakistan team lost 3 out of 5 matches in the World Cup 2023. If this result is not achieved in 6 matches then it will be difficult to reach the semi-finals.

Along with this, before the important match, the Pakistan Cricket Board said in a statement that considering the team's performance in the World Cup, the board will take further decisions which are in the interest of Pakistan cricket. The PCB urges fans, former players and stakeholders to stand with the team at this time.
