Why Was Salman Ali Agha Given Out in the Second ODI Between BAN and PAK?
Salman Ali Agha was run out after Mehidy Hasan Miraz underarm-threw the ball at the stumps while Agha was out of his crease, raising debate over sportsmanship and fielding laws.
- On March 13, 2026, Salman Agha was run out by Mehidy Hasan Miraz with an underarm throw at Sher‑e‑Bangla Stadium, after the third umpire reviewed the play and confirmed the run‑out.
- When Rizwan's shot went to the non‑striker's end, Agha bent to pick up the ball, but Miraz reached it first and threw at the stumps.
- The run‑out ended a 109‑run fourth‑wicket stand and Rizwan was dismissed for 44 two balls later, shifting momentum.
- After Agha's dismissal, Pakistan collapsed 7 for 43 as the Pakistan team slipped from 231 for 3 to finish 274 all out, denting hopes of levelling the three‑match series.
- Rule‑focused observers pointed to Law 37.4 as an alternative interpretation of the play, reigniting sportsmanship debate and referencing the Bangladesh team’s actions in 2023.
