NEW DELHI: After the second ODI between Pakistan and Bangladesh at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Friday, Pakistan batter Salman Ali Agha was officially reprimanded for showing frustration after being run out. The incident happened in the 39th over of Pakistan’s innings when Agha was dismissed following a quick reaction from Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz. The moment unfolded when Mohammad Rizwan pushed a delivery from Miraz toward the bowler.
Miraz stopped the ball with his boot while Agha was standing nearby and outside his crease. As the ball slowed near them, Agha tried to pick it up to return it to the bowler. However, Miraz reacted faster, grabbed the ball and underarmed it into the stumps, catching Agha short of his ground.
129574986 On-field umpire Tanvir Ahmed sent the decision upstairs, where third umpire Kumar Dharmasena confirmed the ball was still live and that Miraz’s run-out attempt was valid. Agha, who had scored 64 from 62 balls, appeared frustrated with the ruling. As he walked off the field, he exchanged words with Bangladesh wicketkeeper Litton Das and tossed his gloves in anger.
