Hassan Ali ruled out from match against South Africa

Hassan Ali will not be available to play the match against South Africa because he is unwell due to fever.

Hasan Ali was recalled after Naseem Shah was ruled out due to a shoulder injury. In five World Cup games, he has bagged eight wickets.

On the other hand, Pakistan’s opening batter Fakhar Zaman is in contention for a place in the playing XI for the Green Shirts’ do-or-die match against South Africa on Friday.

Following an unexpected loss against Afghanistan, Pakistan is left with no choice but to win all their remaining four matches, and expect favourable results from other matches to make it to the knockout stages.

The Pakistani camp received good news on Wednesday as both Fakhar and Mohammad Nawaz were declared fit to play against South Africa.
