The young talented Pakistani batsman Haider Ali made his T20 debut in the series decider between Pakistan and England. Batting at number three, he slammed the second ball of his debut match to a massive six. He later went onto play the anchoring role for the team, while scoring a fifty in the process at a tremendous strike rate of 164.
The third T20I between England and Pakistan witnessed the much-awaited International debut of the young Pakistan batsman Haider Ali. Aged just 19, Haider announced his entry to the international arena with a massive six in just the second ball he faced. The incident happened in the second over of the match, when he furiously launched the fourth ball of Moeen Ali’s first over above long-on. It was quite an astonishing shot for a debutant. He sat down on his knees and launched the ball with full power into the stands.
He was to make his International debut in the Test series against England, but an unexpected COVID positive result delayed his entry to the international stage. With impressive performances in the U-19 World Cup and the PSL, he was knocking the doors of the senior team for quite some time now.

Coming in at number three quite early in the innings, he anchored the Pakistan innings quite well. He scored a well-controlled 54 runs off 33 balls before falling to a terrific Yorker from Chris Jordan.
His stay at the crease included 5 fours and 2 sixes. He along with veteran Mohammad Hafeez stitched together a long-standing partnership to take Pakistan to a comfortable total of 190 runs at the end of 20 overs. Hafeez stole the show by remaining not out on 86 runs from just 52 balls.
