Watch: Salman Ali Agha Loses Temper, Throws Helmet After Dramatic Run-Out in BAN vs PAK 2nd ODI

March 13, 2026: The second ODI between Bangladesh and Pakistan at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium turned into a controversial moment on Friday. A strange run-out involving Salman Ali Agha created a big debate about the “Spirit of Cricket” and the rules of the game.

The incident happened in the 39th over of Pakistan’s innings. Mohammad Rizwan hit a ball from Mehidy Hasan Miraz back toward the bowler. The ball touched Agha’s bat as he tried to return to his crease. During the play, Agha also made slight contact with Miraz while the bowler completed his action.

Agha believed the play was over and thought the ball was dead. In a friendly gesture, he tried to pick up the ball and return it to the bowler. However, Miraz quickly took the ball and removed the bails while Agha was outside his crease.

Heated Reactions on the Field

According to the laws of cricket, the ball is not dead until the players clearly stop the play. Because Agha touched the ball while standing outside the crease, he was considered run out.

The decision created a heated reaction on the field. Agha argued with Miraz and Liton Das, while Rizwan stepped in to calm the situation. After checking the replay, third umpire Tanvir Ahmed gave Agha out.

Frustrated with the decision, Agha threw his helmet and gloves on the ground before walking back to the pavilion.

The moment changed the match. Before the incident, Pakistan were in a strong position at 231 for 3 after 38.3 overs. But after Agha’s dismissal, the team quickly lost four wickets in the next 23 balls, which helped Bangladesh take control of the match and possibly the series.
