Pakistan Women Replicate Men’s Chaos in Hilarious Run-Out vs India
Deepti Sharma capitalizes on a comic mix-up to dismiss Eyman Fatima during a low-scoring Women’s Asia Cup clash.
In a moment that echoed familiar failings of Pakistan's men’s side, the women’s team produced a farcical run-out during their Asia Cup encounter against India. A simple misunderstanding between batters turned into a golden opportunity for India, with Deepti Sharma executing the dismissal after a brief stumble of her own.
The chaos unfolded in the 14th over when Umm-e-Hani pushed a delivery toward short cover and set off for a quick single. Her partner, Eyman Fatima, responded initially but then hesitated as Hani changed her mind. Fatima was left stranded mid-pitch, desperately scrambling to return as the ball was fired toward the bowler’s end.
Sharma, however, couldn’t gather the throw cleanly, spilling it and giving Fatima a glimmer of hope. But the all-rounder regained composure just in time to break the stumps as Fatima dived back. The dismissal summed up Pakistan’s dismal batting display, as they were skittled for a mere 55 runs, handing India a comprehensive victory.
