Asia cup 2025: In the Super-4 match of Asia Cup 2025 played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Pakistan defeated Bangladesh by 11 runs and cut the final ticket. Now on September 28, India and Pakistan will be face to face, but despite this victory, the fielding of Pakistan has once again come under question. During the match, there was an opportunity that proved that fielding still remains a weakness for Pakistan. Former Indian player Irfan Pathan has also taunted this.
Big lapse in fielding
In the fifth over of the innings in the match between Pakistan vs Bangladesh, Pakistan missed the opportunity for easy run-out. Tauheed Hridayy played a light shot off Shaheen Afridi’s ball, non-strayer Saif Hasan ran to run but the heart did not move from the crease. In such a situation, both batsmen came to the same end.
This was a definite run-out opportunity for Pakistan, but the throw of Sym Job did not go in the right direction and no backup was present at the stumps. The ball went towards the mid-on and by then Hasan returned to a safe crease. This mistake has again raised questions on the fielding of Pakistan.
Irfan Pathan’s taunt
Seeing this opportunity, former Indian all -rounder Irfan Pathan made fun of Pakistan in commentary. He said, “Both batsmen at the same end… what can be the run-out?
Irfan’s statement also became increasingly viral on social media. Fans have also made fun of Pakistan’s fielding.
Match condition
Bangladesh won the toss and called Pakistan to bat. Under the captaincy of Salman Ali Aga, Pakistani batsmen were seen struggling from the beginning. The top order stumbled and the run pace could not intensify. With the efforts of the lower order batsmen, the team could somehow reach 135 runs.
It was not easy to protect such a small goal, but Shaheen Afridi strengthened the team with brilliant bowling. He took the initial wicket and put pressure on Bangladesh. After this, the rest of the bowlers also kept taking wickets at regular intervals, keeping pace. The result was that Bangladesh was able to score only 124 runs in 20 overs and Pakistan won this match easily.
Clot from India in final
Now Pakistan’s team will face India on Sunday in the final of the Asia Cup. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see how a big challenge this weak link of fielding becomes for them.
