BAN vs PAK: Salman Agha and Mehedi Hasan Miraz's Controversial Run-Out Sparks Debate During the second One-Day International (ODI) against Bangladesh, a heated argument between Pakistan opener Salman Agha and bowler Mehedi Hasan Miraz erupted after a disputed run-out. The incident, which occurred in the 39th over, has since sparked discussions about cricketing ethics and on-field conduct. Agha claimed the run-out was not intentional, asserting that the ball had already touched his pad and bat before Miraz attempted to dismiss him. "I had no intention of running, and the ball was dead," Agha stated. "I was just trying to return the ball, not take a run. But Miraz decided to run him out anyway." The umpires ruled the dismissal valid, but Agha argued that the ball was no longer in play after it struck his equipment. "I followed the rules, but Miraz acted without considering the situation," he added. Despite his frustration, Agha emphasized that both players adhere to cricketing principles. "We’ve never done anything like this before, and we won’t in the future." The altercation escalated on the field, with Agha reportedly throwing his gloves and helmet after the incident. He admitted the exchange was fueled by anger but insisted it was a momentary lapse. "Those were just heated words. If you ask me what I did, I’d do it differently now," he said. The match ended with Pakistan securing a thrilling 128-run victory under the DLS method, leveling the three-match series at 1-1. Bangladesh had earlier defeated Pakistan in the first ODI. The final match of the series is set for March 15. The incident has reignited debates about on-field discipline and the interpretation of "dead ball" rules in cricket.#one_day_international #mehedi_hasan_miraz #salman_aghaz #cricketing_ethics #dls_method
Salman Agha's bizarre run-out during Pakistan vs Bangladesh ODI series sparks viral reaction Salman Agha's unusual dismissal during the second match of the three-game ODI series between Pakistan and Bangladesh has become a talking point on social media. The incident, which occurred on March 13, saw the Pakistan batsman run out in a comically awkward manner, prompting both fans and authorities to share humorous takes. The Rawalpindi police even joined the fun by posting a lighthearted message about the event, emphasizing the importance of safety and awareness. The run-out happened during Pakistan's innings in the second match. As Mohammad Rizwan bowled to Mehedi Hasan Miraz, the ball appeared to be dead, leading Salman Agha to step out of his crease to retrieve it. However, the ball did not reach him, and Miraz swiftly removed the stumps, resulting in Agha's dismissal. The moment was captured on video and quickly went viral, with Agha himself appearing visibly frustrated in the footage. The incident added to the excitement of a closely contested series that is currently tied at 1-1. Bangladesh had won the first match by eight wickets, while Pakistan secured a dramatic victory in the second game under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method after rain interrupted play. The police's response to the run-out highlighted a broader message about personal responsibility and vigilance, both on and off the field. The viral post from Rawalpindi police included a photo of Agha's dismissal, accompanied by a caption urging individuals to prioritize safety and make informed decisions. The message, translated into English, read: "Whether on the road or on the playing field, safety begins with personal responsibility. Trust yourself, stay alert, and make wise decisions to keep yourself and others safe.#mohammad_rizwan #mehedi_hasan_miraz #odi_series #salman_aga #rawalpindi_police
Bangladeshi Bowler Nafisul Islam Shines with 5-Wicket Haul Against Pakistan in ODI Bangkok, March 11, 2026 — In a stunning display of pace and precision, Bangladesh fast bowler Nafisul Islam (Nahid Rana) delivered a masterclass performance in the first One-Day International (ODI) against Pakistan, claiming five wickets in the first innings.

His five-wicket haul came in 7 overs, conceding just 24 runs, as Bangladesh restricted Pakistan to 114 runs in 30.4 overs. The left-arm seamer dismissed key Pakistan batsmen including Sahibzada Farhan, Mohammad Rizwan, and Salman Agha, leaving the hosts in disarray. Captain Mehedi Hasan Miraz praised the young bowler’s performance, stating, “Nafisul’s pace and discipline were instrumental in our victory.
