Pakistan Shaheens openers Khawaja Mohammad Nafay and Yasir Khan were involved in a chaotic run-out during a limited-overs contest against Bangladesh A in Darwin, Australia at a Top end T20 game. In a video shared by 7cricket on X, Yasir was furious at Nafay not responding and threw his bat in anger, followed by hurling some words.
The incident occurred in the 12th over of the innings as Yasir wanted to hoick one out of the ground to the leg side but got nowhere near the middle of the bat. Although Nafay signalled Yasir not to run but the latter was halfway down the pitch before turning back. However, it was too late and the Bangladeshi keeper threw the ball to the bowler to run Yasir out.
Until that stage, both openers were going well, amassing 110 in 11 overs.
Pakistan Shaheens win by a massive margin of 79 runs
Meanwhile, Pakistan Shaheens still won by a comfortable margin of 79 runs after smashing 227/4 in their stipulated 20 overs. Although Nafay was dismissed for a whirlwind 61 off 31 deliveries, Yasir stayed and struck 62. Syed Muhammad Abdul Samad blasted five sixes in his 27-ball 56, while captain Muhammad Irfan Khan laid in the finishing touches with a 12-ball 25.
For Bangladesh, Muhammad Saif Hassan made a half-century, while Jishan Alam made a promising 57 off 33 deliveries. Chaudhary Saad Masood was the pick of the bowlers for Pakistan Shaheens with figures of 3.5-1-30-3, while Muhammad Waseem picked up a couple of scalps. Faisal Akram was equally outstanding with a haul of 3-0-19-3. Yasir Khan was adjudged Player of the Match for his 40-ball 62 and a couple of catches.
Bangladesh's senior team notably defeated Pakistan to register a historic T20 series victory.
