WATCH: Asif Ali's explosive knock falls short in GT20 Canada clash

Pakistan's middle-order batter Asif Ali has showcased his explosive batting skills on Thursday (July 31) in the Global T20 Canada 2024.

Representing the Vancouver Knights against the Brampton Wolves in Brampton, Ali delivered a stunning performance.

The 32-year-old smashed three sixes and two fours in a rapid 17-ball 36 not out, propelling his team to a total of 149/4. Ali's fierce hitting was particularly evident against Andrew Tye, whom he targeted in the 20th over, hitting a four, a six, and another four on consecutive deliveries.

Despite Ali's impressive cameo, the Vancouver Knights fell short, as the Brampton Wolves chased down the target in 18.1 overs with six wickets remaining.

Beau Webster and Nick Hobson were the key players for the Wolves, scoring unbeaten 49 and 37 runs, respectively.

Mohammad Amir, who had excelled with the ball in the tournament's earlier matches, struggled in this crucial game.

The Pakistan pacer gave away 24 runs in 3.1 overs without taking a wicket, putting the Knights in a tough spot in this critical match.
