PAK vs BAN 2nd ODI: Pakistan skipper Salman Ali Agha erupted in anger after being controversially run out by Bangladesh spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz during the 2nd ODI in Dhaka on Friday. The incident occurred in the 39th over, with Pakistan at 230/3. Agha and Mohammed Rizwan had built a 109-run partnership off 115 balls for the fourth wicket. Rizwan hit the ball straight to Miraz, who then moved to block Agha, the non-striker, as he attempted to collect the ball.

Agha tried to assist Miraz by picking up the ball, but the Bangladeshi players executed a different tactic. As Agha reached to help, Miraz quickly grabbed the ball himself and threw it at the stumps, catching Agha out of his crease. On-field umpire Tanvir Ahmed called for a review, and after the third umpire's decision, Agha was given out. Frustrated, the Pakistan skipper threw his glove and helmet aggressively while leaving the field.

It was one of the most unique ways to dismiss a batter, which might lead to debate about the spirit of the game and question the laws.

Although the wicket was legal since the ball was still live, law 41.5 of the ICC conditions states that a fielder must not intentionally distract or obstruct a batter after the ball is played.

To apply law 41.5, the umpire needed to determine if Miraz deliberately obstructed Agha. If Miraz intentionally blocked Agha’s return to the crease, the law should have been enforced.
