WATCH: Bangladesh wicket-keeper Nurul Hasan left embarrassed after positioning horror
The incident occurred in the fifth over of the second innings of the match when pacer Ebadot Hossain was bowling. Chasing 228, Rhys Mairu and Dale Phillips were batting with scorecard reading 35 for 0 when Ebadot bowled a straight ball that was left alone by Mariu and it hit the helmet as Nurul decided to stand closer to first slip instead of the conventional wicket-keeper's position. The ball ran towards short third man before it was fielded.
While Nurul wore an expression as if he didn't expect the ball to go straight, even the batters looked confused. Eventually Phillips and Mairu took a single with the umpire rewarding five runs as penalty.

The rule 28.3.2 of Cricketing laws formulated by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) states,'If the ball while in play strikes the protective helmet the ball shall immediately become dead and he umpire shall signal No ball or Wide to the scorers, if applicable or umpire shall award 5 Penalty runs to the batting side.
The incident looked like a brain-fade moment from Nurul, who was also the captain of the side, placing himself far away from the conventional trajectory of the ball.
New Zealand A won the game easily chasing down the 228 target in the 48th over with Dean Foxcroft taking them over the line.
The 31-year-old Nurul has 157 List-A matches besides a hord of 214 T20 and 109 First-Class appearances. The right-handed batter last represented the national side in 2023 in Mirpur. Having featured in 64 matches across formats, Nurul has aggregated over 1000 runs and 50-plus fielding dismissals.
In the ongoing series, Nurul has scored 144 runs in three matches in Sylhet, including a century in the second one-dayer.

Watch: Angry Pakistan Shaheens player throws bat, yells at partner after horrible run out
A mixup between two Pakistan Shaheens players resulted in a dreadful run out. (Image: X) A heated moment unfolded during a cricket match between Pakistan Shaheens and Bangladesh A when opening batter Nafay and Yasir Khan were involved in a run-out incident in the 12th over, leading to visible frustration and confrontation between the teammates. The incident occurred after the opening partnership had built a strong foundation of 118 runs in the first 11 overs, with both batters having scored half-centuries. The run-out occurred on the first ball of the 12th over when Khan faced right-arm pacer Mrittunjoy Chowdhury. Khan attempted to flick a ball that was angling across him into the leg side, which hit his pads and rolled across the pitch. Nafay immediately started running for a single while Khan hesitated to check if the ball was rolling back towards his stumps. — 7Cricket (@7Cricket) Despite Khan's signal to stop, Nafay continued his run down the pitch. Khan took a step forward before deciding against the single, but by then, the wicketkeeper had nearly collected the ball. Although Nafay tried to make it back to his crease, the ball was thrown accurately to Chowdhury at the non-striker's end, who removed the bails with Nafay well short of his ground. The dismissal triggered an immediate and intense reaction from Nafay, who threw his bat onto the ground in frustration. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Only Classless Women Wear these Over a Certain Age Learn More Undo He then turned towards Khan and displayed his anger through aggressive gestures, throwing his arms out and pointing at his partner.

Watch: Pakistan Shaheens Opener Throws Bat, Shouts At Partner Over Run-Out After Horrible Mix-Up
Pakistan Shaheens got off to a superb start in the Top End T20 Series in Australia. The side registered a dominating 79-run victory over Bangladesh A in the series opener at Darwin on Thursday. Yasir Khan, Khawaja Nafay and Abdul Samad scored fifties as Pakistan Shaheens posted a massive total of 227 for 4 in the allotted 20 overs. In reply, the side bundled out Bangladesh A for 148, thanks to three-wicket hauls by Faisal Akram and Saad Masood. While it was a memorable start for the Pakistan Shaheens, the match hogged limelight for a wrong reason. It was Nafay losing his cool at Yasir that got into the focus. The duo stitched a solid 118-run partnership for the opening wicket before the incident took place. It happened on the first ball of the 12th over bowled by Mrittunjoy Chowdhury. The pacer went with a fuller delivery into the body of Yasir, who tried to smash it away but missed. The ball hit his pad and then his leg before going to the leg side, right next to the pitch. Nafay called for a single and Yasir too took a step forward before realising that the ball was so close and Bangladesh A wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan had almost approached it. The batter on strike got back to his crease and this left Nafay with no option but to try and return to the non-striker's end. Before Nafay could get to the other end, the wicketkeeper threw the ball to the bowler at the non-striker's end and the run-out was effected. Getting out through a horrible mix-up, Nafay could not control his anger and lashed out at his partner for the dismissal. He thew his bat on the ground and started shouting at his partner. The video of the incident has gone viral on social media. Maybe the two Pakistani openers will talk through their mix up nice and calmly... Or maybe Yasir and Nafay have a different way of communicating #TopEndT20 | Live on 7plus — 7Cricket (@7Cricket) August 14, 2025 Pakistan Shaheens will play their next match against Perth Scorchers Academy on August 16.

PAK Batter Loses Cool At Teammate After Horrible Mix-Up Leads To Run Out
Last Updated: The incident took place on the first ball of the 12th over of the Pakistan Shaheen innings. Nafay scored 61 runs from 31 balls. Pakistan Shaheens opening batter Khawaja Muhammad Nafay lost his cool at teammate Yasir Khan on Thursday (August 14) after a horrible mix-up between the two led to his run-out in the first T20 match. In the first match of the T20 series played at the TIO Stadium in Northern Territory, Australia, on the first ball of the 12th over of Pakistan Shaheen's innings bowled by Hasan Mahmud, Yasir tried to play a big shot, but he failed to connect with the ball properly. Nafay, who was at the non-striker's end, felt there was an opportunity to take the run, and he left his crease. Yasir was initially interested in taking the run, and he took a couple of steps forward as well before backing out. Nafay, who by that time had almost reached the striker's end, then had to make a U-turn, but before he could return back to the non-striker's end, Hasan removed the bails after collecting the ball from a throw by the Bangladesh A wicketkeeper. After getting out for a score of 61 runs from 31 balls with the help of 8 fours and 2 sixes, Nafay threw his bat in anger and started yelling at his opening partner. The clip of his animated chat with Yasir was shared by 7Cricket on X, and within no time it went viral on the internet. Before making his way back to the pavilion, Nafay added 118 runs in 11.1 overs for the first wicket with Yasir. The 100+ run opening stand between the two set the foundation of the big total for the team from Pakistan, and they posted a total of 227 runs for the loss of four wickets in 20 overs. In reply to the 228-run target, Bangladesh A could only manage to score 148 runs in 16.5 overs and lost the contest by 79 runs. 11-team tournament A total of 11 teams are taking part in the Top End T20 series in Australia, which will be played from August 14 to 24. Apart from the Pakistan Shaheens, two teams of Bangladesh A, Melbourne Stars, Melbourne Renegades, Hobart Hurricanes, NT Strike, Adelaide Strikers, Perth Scorchers, ACT Comets and Nepal are playing. view comments First Published: August 14, 2025, 18:39 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
