Pakistan Fielding Blunder Goes Viral: The Pakistan cricket team has a history of poor fielding. Now, it's safe to say that the team can't help but be ridiculed. The Pakistan team once again became the target of trolling for its poor fielding against Bangladesh in the Super Four round of the Asia Cup 2025 on Thursday.
PAK vs BAN Funny Moment: This incident occurred in the fifth over of Bangladesh's innings. Shaheen Afridi's delivery was bowled by Tauhid Hiday, who played a shot towards backward point. Saim Ayub performed a brilliant fielding performance, diving to catch the ball. He noticed that the non-striker had already covered more than half the distance of the pitch.
Saim Ayub threw, but no player was present at the non-striker's end to provide backup. In cricket, it's considered a basic rule that if someone throws, the other fielder reaches the other end and catches the ball. This mistake by Pakistan was widely ridiculed on social media.
The hit was so severe that the mid-on fielder tried to catch the ball, but by then he dived to catch the ball, but the batsman had already reached the non-striker's end. This lack of basic cricketing skills made the Pakistan team a laughingstock and was widely ridiculed on social media.
Pakistan fielding.

Saif Hasan did get a lifeline, but he couldn't capitalize. He was dismissed by Haris Rauf in the next over.
Bangladesh failed to show any strength in the match, losing the match by 11 runs and being eliminated from the tournament. Pakistan advanced to the final of the Asia Cup 2025, where they will face arch-rivals India.
It's worth noting that the Indian team defeated Pakistan twice in the current tournament in one-sided fashion. The two teams first met in the league stage, where India won by seven wickets with 25 balls remaining.
The two teams then clashed in the Super 4 round. The Indian team, led by Suryakumar Yadav, won the match by six wickets with seven balls remaining. This will be the first time India will face each other in the final of the Asia Cup in 41 years.
