Scoring five runs off a delivery is one of the rarities in cricket. However, the rare feat was achieved by Pakistan batsmen against New Zealꦜand at the Dubai International S🔥tadium on Sunday.
The incident occurred on the fifth delivery of the 49th over when New Zealand🌳 fast bowler Trent Boult bowled to all-rounder Faheem Ashraf. The left-handed batsman got a full toss and he flicked it down the leg and the batsmen took three runs. The fielder gave the ball back to wicketkeeper Tom Latham who made a wayward throw at the non-striker’s end, allowing the batsmen to take the fourth and then there was a poor backing, which saw Ashraf and his partner Asif Ali picking the fifth.
Much to the🙈 delight of coach Mickey Arthur, who was laughing at the corner witnessing all the comedy of errors.
Here’s the video:
