Bangladeshi Batsman Zakir Hasan falls to Direct Hit after Mehidy Hasan Miraz's Misfield

In a stunning turn of events, Mehidy Hasan Miraz's haste led to the dismissal of Zakir Hasan during the third One-Day International between Bangladesh and Afghanistan at Sharjah. The incident occurred in the 11th over when Belal Hasan defended a delivery and attempted to score a single, only to have a change of heart and send Zakir Hasan back, who was too late to make it back to the crease.

The player tried to guide the ball towards backward point and called for a run but soon realized that there was no ball available. Zakir Hasan then attempted to return to his crease, only to find Afghan fielder Nangeyalia Kharote quickly seizing the opportunity, using his expertise to throw down the stumps and run out Hasan. The controversial incident occurred when Zakir Hasan departed for just four runs, with Bangladesh facing pressure as the match played out in a manner where the team reduced to 58-3.

Now, we speak to experts, who stated that this kind of hasty decision-making would not be the first for Hasan Miraz, however such thinking somewhat paydivces highly under pressure.

Bangladesh were initially placed at 161/4 due to the 40s contributed by Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mosaddek Mohiuddin's contributions. Despite this setback, the match is still ongoing with Bangladesh having faced pressure once the game was 3 wickets down.

With Bangladesh struggling, they would need to recover quickly to overcome their slump and sustain momentum to overhaul Afghanistan's score, but it seems like a daunting task as they very recently took just survived till 124-4.
