Pakistan batter Salman Agha was involved in an unusual run-out during the second ODI between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Dhaka, leaving the all-rounder visibly frustrated.

The incident occurred in the 39th over when Mohammad Rizwan pushed a delivery from Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz back towards the non-striker’s end. As the ball rolled towards him, Agha initially moved aside to avoid interfering while Mehidy attempted to field it. However, the two players briefly got tangled near the pitch.

While still outside his crease, Agha then tried to pick up the ball, seemingly intending to hand it back to the bowler. Mehidy reacted quickly, reaching the ball first and immediately producing an underarm throw that struck the stumps at the non-striker’s end. Bangladesh players appealed straight away, prompting on-field umpire Tanvir Ahmed to refer the decision to the third umpire.

After reviewing the replay, third umpire Kumar Dharmasena ruled that Agha was outside his ground at the moment the stumps were broken, confirming the run-out. Agha, who had scored 64 runs off 62 balls, left the field angrily and gestured in frustration. The brief exchange between players drew loud cheers from the crowd before Rizwan stepped in to calm the situation.

After the match, Agha spoke about the incident and described the moment as part of the heat of the game. He said that while Mehidy believed his action was correct, he personally would have handled the situation differently.

Before the dismissal, Agha and Rizwan had built an important 109-run partnership for the fourth wicket, helping Pakistan recover after losing three wickets for 18 runs despite a 103-run opening stand. However, Agha’s run-out triggered a dramatic collapse for Pakistan.

Rizwan was dismissed just two balls later, caught at deep midwicket six runs short of a half-century. Pakistan then lost seven wickets for just 43 runs, slipping from 231 for 3 to 274 all out. Bangladesh had already taken control of the three-match series after winning the first ODI by eight wickets.
