[WATCH] Comedy of Errors lead to hilarious fielding from Pakistan during PAK vs BAN Super 4 clash of Asia Cup 2025
Watch the video where the comedy of errors have seen the hilarious fielding efforts from the Pakistan side during their Super 4 clash against Bangladesh from Asia Cup 2025 in Dubai.
Pakistan has a long history of being run out and making endless comedy of errors in the fielding, as was the case during the Super 4 clash against Bangladesh at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The Salman Ali Agha-led side didn’t enjoy the first inning with the bat as they posted a below-par total in their 20 overs.
On the first ball of the fifth over, Towhid Hridoy cut the short ball from Pakistan's Shaheen Afridi into the point region and took a few steps. His partner replied and also set out for the run, standing at the batting end. That was the perfect and easiest chance for the Pakistan side to get the batter short of his crease.
The throw came from the backward point region as the fielder, Saim Ayub, grabbed the ball and had a shy at the bowling end. The other fielders also charged in from different directions, but none of them were able to make a difference. The batter rushed back to his end as it became a viral moment on various social media platforms.

Batting first, Pakistan put 135 runs on the board for the loss of eight wickets in their allotted 20 overs of the first innings. Their top order and middle order could hardly get runs as Mohammed Harif was the highest individual run-getter of the inning with 31 runs in 23 balls at a strike rate of 134.78, while Mohammed Nawaz smashed 25 runs in 15 balls.
With the ball, Taskin Ahmed picked up three wickets in their four overs for an economy rate of seven. Mehedi Hasan and Rishad Hossain also shared four wickets between them. In reply, Bangladesh fell short of the chase by 11 runs as Shamim Hossain’s 30 runs went in vain.
Shaheen Afridi ended with three wickets for 17 runs in four overs, while Haris Rauf also picked up three wickets along with Saim Ayub’s two in the second innings as they claimed the win and qualified for the final to face India on September 28.
