The Asia Cup 2025 Super Four clash between India and Pakistan produced yet another moment of drama when Mohammad Nawaz was dismissed in one of the most bizarre run-outs seen in recent times. The dismissal not only stunned the spectators in Dubai but also dented Pakistan’s momentum during a crucial phase of their innings.
The incident unfolded when Salman Agha attempted a mistimed swipe off a full toss delivered by Jasprit Bumrah. The ball flew straight to the square-leg fielder, and while the pair comfortably completed the first run, confusion crept in as they attempted a second. The fielder, alert and precise, returned the ball quickly to the runner’s end, forcing both batters to hesitate mid-pitch.

In the chaos, Nawaz displayed a shocking lapse in awareness. Not only did he fail to watch the fielder, but he also neglected to ground his bat properly while scrambling back to safety. This provided Suryakumar Yadav the perfect chance to showcase his sharp fielding instincts. With one swift throw, the Indian skipper shattered the stumps, catching Nawaz inches short of his crease.

The Pakistan all-rounder, who had scored 21 off 19 balls, walked back dejected, visibly aware of how costly his dismissal could prove in a high-stakes encounter. For Pakistan, it was a frustrating setback—losing a settled batter to such a soft dismissal at a pivotal stage of the match.

While Nawaz’s wicket highlighted Pakistan’s lack of composure under pressure, it also showcased India’s sharp fielding and game awareness, qualities that often define success in cricket’s most fiercely contested rivalry.
