In India’s Asia Cup Super Fours match versus Pakistan in Dubai, skipper Suryakumar Yadav’s smart effort and accurate toss resulted in Mohammad Nawaz being dismissed. The dismissal came in the nineteenth over. Salman Agha attempted to move Jasprit Bumrah’s full toss off his pads into a backward square leg and went for a short run. Nawaz hit a single but then left his crease at the striker’s end.
Suryakumar Yadav directed the throw directly at the striker’s stumps from mid-off, rather than at the bowler’s end.
The ball bounced before striking the wicket, and Nawaz, still walking with his bat in the air, was caught short of the crease. The delayed referral confirmed his dismissal, which resulted with the southpaw being run out for 21 off 19 balls. His runout enraged coach Mike Hesson.

Earlier, Suryakumar won the toss and opted to bowl first, keeping the dew factor in mind. Both teams respectively made a few changes in their line-up for this blockbuster clash. Pakistan started well, with Fakhar Zaman attacking in the powerplay and Sahibzada Farhan anchoring the innings. Despite losing wickets in intervals, Pakistan managed to keep the scoreboard ticking, with Farhan’s fifty giving them a huge boost.
The Men in Green’s innings had been orchestrated by Farhan’s 58 off 45 balls. He partnered with Saim Ayub for a decent stand before Dube struck twice. Hussain Talat and Nawaz failed to capitalize, while Salman Agha (17* off 13) tried to steady things.
The late push came from Faheem Ashraf, who hammered 20 off just 8 balls, including two sixes. Despite India dropping a couple of chances in the deep, Pakistan finished on 171/5 in their 20 overs. For India, Dube bagged two wickets, with Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav finishing one wicket apiece.
