Pakistan vs New Zealand: Faheem Ashraf-Asif Ali's hilarious five runs off one ball
Faheem Ashraf had sent a Trent Boult delivery towards the boundary to take three runs with the throw coming in at the wicketkeeper’s end.
The third and final ODI between Pakistan and New Zealand ended abruptly due to rain Sunday night. However, the exciting match offered a couple of interesting moments that got fans on the internet talking.
One of those moments came when Pakistan’s Faheem Ashraf and Asif Ali ran five runs off one ball, following an array of comic errors from the New Zealand players on the field.
Faheem Ashraf had sent a Trent Boult delivery towards the boundary to take three runs with the throw coming in at the wicketkeeper’s end.
Tom Latham fetched the ball and hurled it at the bowling end, which rolled down to long-off enabling an overthrow for the duo.
The throw then sent Latham to poorly collect the ball, which allowed the Pakistan batsmen to make their fifth run.
Ever since the ‘astonishing run’ the internet is down in laughter.
"Quite astonishing. Quite a feat that," was Rameez Raja's first take-off of the hilarious incident in the commentary box.
On the match front, Pakistan is yet to register its victory against New Zealand as it had not beat the Kiwis in a one-day series since 2011, having lost in 2014 (2-3 in UAE), 2015 (0-2 in New Zealand), in 2016 (0-2 in New Zealand) and in January 2018 (0-5 in New Zealand).
