Pakistan batter Salman Agha was run out in unusual fashion by Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz in the second ODI in Dhaka.
The incident took place in the 39th over when Mohammad Rizwan hit the ball towards Agha at the non-striker’s end off Mehidy’s bowling and Mehidy and Agha got into a bit of a tangle as both tried to pick up the ball while Agha was still well outside the crease. But Mehidy was first to it, and he swiftly turned and got a direct hit with an underarm throw. Mehidy and the Bangladesh fielders appealed immediately and Agha threw his arms up in the air and soon his equipment as soon as he saw the on-field umpire Tanvir Ahmed call for the third umpire’s decision. Kumar Dharmasena, the third umpire, gave it out after seeing the replay and said the “batsman is out of the ground at the time of the wickets break.”
Agha left the field pointing and screaming after he fell for 64 off 62 balls. Rizwan played peacemaker in the incident as the Bangladesh fielders charged towards Agha. The exchange lasted less than a minute, but it drew cheers from the crowd.

Agha’s dismissal broke his 109-run fourth-wicket stand with Rizwan, who was caught at deep midwicket two balls later, six runs short of a half-century. The pair had steadied Pakistan after they lost three wickets for 18 runs following a 103-run opening stand. But Agha’s dismissal triggered a collapse of 7 for 43 as Pakistan slipped from 231 for 3 to 274 all out.
Bangladesh had won the first ODI by eight wickets in the three-match series.
