Pakistan have changed over the years, but their character of getting run out hilariously has still been the same. And during their humiliating seven-wicket defeat during the first of the three-match T20I series against Bangladesh, they faced another instance of a comedy of errors, as their opener, Fakhar Zaman, got run out.
The incident took place on the third ball of the 12th over of the first innings of the Green Brigade, bowled by Mustafizur Rahman. Khusdil Shah was on strike, and he played a cut short in the point region. The striker rushed onto the bowling end, took a single, and again started to come back for the second. Khusdil took a few steps in taking the second run as Fakhar came with the momentum.
But suddenly, he stopped after taking a few steps, while Fakhar kept running in. Later, he realized that the run won’t get completed. The southpaw stopped in the middle of the crease and looked to get back to the striker’s end. But that was too late for the batter to get back as the wicket-keeper Litton Das had already collected the ball and broken the stumps. Expectedly, Fakhar was not happy, and he left the field angrily.

Bangladesh, coming off a series victory with a 2-1 margin against Sri Lanka in the away series, won the toss and decided to bowl first in Dhaka as they expected to use the slow and dryness of the surface. Fakhar smashed a fine knock of 44 runs in 34 balls at a strike rate of 129.41 before getting run out. Apart from him, none of the batters in the top six got into the double figures.
