VIDEO: Vigilant Hasan Ali Runs Out Agile Williamson On His Own Bowling
In the ongoing 19th match of the T20 World Cup between Pakistan and New Zealand, Pakistan is at 63/3 in the 11th over, chasing a target of 135. Earlier, batting first after losing the toss, New Zealand were able to score 134/8. Captain Kane Willaimson, while batting, got out in a manner that caught everyone's eye.
Williamson looked in great form and it looked like he would take the Kiwis towards a big score but when he was about to shift gears, he made a mistake and lost his wicket which proved disastrous for the Kiwis.
The incident happened on the first ball of the 14th over when Hasan Ali was starting his second over and Williamson went for a run after defending his very first ball. The ball went straight to Hasan Ali's hands, so Devon Conway refused him a run. By the time Williamson reached his crease, Hasan Ali's well-aimed & quick direct hit had dislodged the bails.

In this way Williamson, who's known for taking singles very quickly, this time got bogged down and his agility outweighed him. Now it will be interesting to see whether the Kiwi bowlers can defend the score of 134 in front of Pakistan batters.
