Epic Brain Fade! Nashra Sandhu's Bizarre Hit-Wicket Dismissal Goes Viral During PAK W vs BAN W Women's World Cup 2025 Match; Video

Pakistan women's cricketer Nashra Sandhu suffered an epic brain fade during the World Cup 2025 match against Bangladesh at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Sandhu brought her bat down to the extent that she ended up hitting the stumps as the hit wicket dismissal came into play, leaving the 27-year-old's crestfallen.

The dismissal occurred in the 35th over of the innings bowled by Shorna Akter, who gave the ball some air. With Sandhu going back to jab the ball, her bat went up after the leave and it ended up striking the stumps. The over ended without a run conceded by Bangladesh alongside a wicket.

Watch the below video:

After Pakistan captain Fatima Sana opted to bat first, Bangladesh had them 2/2 after the first over as Omaima Sohail and Sidra Amin perishing for golden ducks. The 42-run stand between Muneeba Ali and Rameen Shamim was the highest of the innings as the Women in Green failed to get any momentum going for them. Shamim top-scored for them with 23 as Pakistan's innings lasted only 38.3 overs.

Shorna Akter was the pick of the bowlers for Bangladesh with a stunning haul of 3.3-3-5-3. Marufa and Nahida Akter also picked up a couple of wickets apiece.
