ICC World Cup 2019: 5 players who could take a hat-trick

#2 Hasan Ali

Hasan Ali

2017 was a career-changing year for a talented youngster hailing from Punjab, as the fast bowler went on to become the highest ODI wicket-taker of the year and inspired his country to their maiden ICC Champions Trophy triumph.

With 45 wickets in 18 matches at an average of 17.04, Hasan Ali was atop of the wicket-takers list in 2017. He particularly took the stage in the Champions Trophy 2017 where he won the Man of the Tournament award with 13 scalps in 5 appearances, scripting a one-for-the-books comeback for his country.

As such, Hasan Ali is a cricketer who is adept at bowling in English conditions and boasts the potential to single-handedly lead his side to another major cricketing triumph in 2019.

It is quite predictable that Sarfraz Ahmed will exploit his flair in the second half of the match just like the skipper did in Champions Trophy as Hasan is difficult to be confronted during that period, thanks to his reverse swing.
