Fans Criticize Haris Rauf for Poor Performance in Asia Cup Final

In the Asia Cup Final, Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf faced heavy criticism from fans on social media after his poor bowling performance against India. He failed to help the team defend a low total of 146 runs.

Haris Rauf gave away 50 runs in just 3.4 overs and did not take any wickets. When India needed only 10 runs in the final over, he gave 13 runs in 4 balls, and India won the match to lift the Asia Cup for the ninth time.
