Irfan Pathan's prediction again proved instantly on point. As soon as he made a prediction about Sahibzada Farhan's batting stance, Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed got his man, his 100th T20I wicket for Bangladesh. Irfan Pathan was right. Farhan made the mistake of what the former India international talked about. 

Ahead of the 3rd ball of the 1st over of the 1st innings of the Pakistan vs Bangladesh Asia Cup 2025 Super Four match, Pathan opined that the Pakistan opener's stance was good for the back foot and against wide off-the-stump deliveries but could be fragile if the bowler forced him to play on the front foot. 

Taskin delivered exactly what Pathan was talking about during his commentary work. On the fourth delivery of the oven. Ahmed pitched the ball on the off and fuller on length. Farhan had no option but to use his front foot. The right-handed batter used his right foot and tried to guide the ball on the off side. He lacked control over the shot and found the fielder on the point region. An easy catch for Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed received his 100th T20I wicket after Mustafizur Rahman and Shakib Al Hasan.

Irfan Pathan's prediction on air proved right

"Sahibzada Farhan ke liye woh length thodi aage daalna; woh front foot pe unhein invite karna zaroori hai. Unke stance ke hisaab se. (For Sahibzada Farhan, you need to pitch the ball up. He needs to be invited to the front foot, given the stance," Pathan said on air. 

Another day, another right prediction from Irfan Pathan ✅ 😎

It was not the first time when Irfan Pathan's prediction proved right. In the ongoing Asia Cup 2025, on more than one occasion, the former pace-bowling all-rounder predicted dismissals early. During the India vs. Pakistan Super 4 match, and before that, during the India vs. UAE match, Pathan showcased his astute cricketing brain.
