Not only batting or bowling, but Pakistani fielders are also struggling in their fielding work too in the ongoing Big Bash League 2025-26 (BBL 2025-26) season. Along with multiple legendary batters and bowlers, Pakistan cricket is also known for making silly mistakes on the field.

Hasan Ali, Pakistan cricket team pacer, made a blooper during the Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Stars match at the MCG on January 13. It was a low-scoring contest where Melbourne Stars emerged victorious with ease. Batting first, Adelaide Strikers registered only 83 in 19.3 overs against their all 10 wickets – a complete batting collapse for the team which has star players like Alex Carey, Matt Short, Chris Lynn, and Jamie Overton in their playing combination. Out of eleven, only two players managed to secure two-digit runs.

England pace bowling all-rounder Tom Curran turned out as the wrecker-in-chief for the Melbourne Stars by taking 4 wickets in 4 overs with an economy rate of 2.50. Mitchell Swepson accompanied him by claiming 3 wickets.

Melbourne chased down the paltry total with ease, in 15.1 overs and with 6 wickets in hand. The bowler unit of Strikers, who scalped 4 batters, showed better intention than their batters. In the meantime, Hasan Ali's misfielding gifted the Melbourne Stars some extra runs as well. 

"Hasan Ali misfielded this ball, then it looked like he had saved a boundary; however...," BBL tweeted from their official twitter account.

With the second innings score reading 35/2, Ali committed an unfortunate error while trying to prevent the ball from reaching the boundary. His initial effort failed as the ball slipped past him and rolled toward the ropes. Reacting quickly, Ali turned around and made a desperate dive in a second attempt to stop it. However, by the time he reached the ball, it had already brushed the boundary line. After checking the replay, the on-field umpire had no hesitation in signalling a four.

Despite the momentary lapse in the field, the Pakistani fast bowler delivered a steady performance with the ball. Operating with discipline, Ali completed his four-over spell while conceding just 21 runs. He also managed to make an impact by picking up a crucial wicket during his outing. Although the boundary mishap stood out briefly, his overall bowling figures reflected control and effectiveness, contributing positively to Pakistan’s effort in the match.
