The game of cricket has witnessed some comical moments that have left everyone in splits. One of these incidents occurred in the Asia Cup match between the opponent and Bangladesh, where the opponent missed an easy run-out chance of Saif Hasan during the power play in a do-or-die match in Dubai.

The opponent was restricted to a below-par score of 135/8 in the first innings, giving Bangladesh a great chance to win the game and make it to the Asia Cup 2025 final against India. However, the opponent kept themselves in the game as Shaheen Afridi took a couple of wickets in the power play.

While the first wicket was a straightforward chance, the lead-up to the second wicket was absolute chaos.

The incident took place on the first ball of the fifth over, where Towhid Hridoy jabbed the ball towards point and took a couple of steps to signal a run. However, he gave up at the last minute as Saif Hasan was halfway down the wicket. While it seemed like an easy run-out chance, the opponent’s fielders made a mess of it as Saim Ayub missed the throw, and there was no one to back it up.

This resulted in Hasan comfortably reaching his crease. Though this was a moment of good fortune, it did not cost the opponent at all, as Hridoy threw his wicket away on the next delivery.

Fans couldn’t stop laughing at the incident.
