Watch: Hasan Nawaz breaks a window with a huge six as Pakistan qualify for Asian Games 2026 final

Restricted to 53/4 just after the powerplay, Pakistan found themselves under pressure in the 112-run chase against Bangladesh during the Asian Games 2026 semifinal, before Hasan Nawaz showed his class with brutal power. His one of the sixes broke the window as the video went viral around the social media platforms.   

Pakistan’s captain, Sahibzada Farhan, won the toss and decided to bowl first, despite the surface being expected to get slow in the second innings. The batters found it incredibly tough to time the spinners, who got the advantage by changing the pace of the balls.
