Bizzare run-out dismissal of Pakistan batsman leaves Twitterati in splits!

Pakistan's legacy with funny cricket dismissals continued after Babar Azam's team found himself at the receiving end of jokes after mam Ul Haq and Haris Sohail were involved in an awful mix-up that saw both batsmen stranded on the same end. The incident took place in the 26th over of the Pakistan innings. Imam was set and batting nicely after getting a half-century along with Sohail with the pair having put on 30 runs for the third wicket. 

Imam played the ball towards point unaware of the fact that Sohail had taken off in search of a quick single. Before Imam realised, Haris was already next to him at the striker’s end.The throw from the fielder at backward point missed the stumps, with wicketkeeper Brendan Taylor unable to collect it. However, the fielder at square leg realised the chance he had and threw it to bowler Sikander Raza, who took the bails off. Unfortunately for Pakistan, Imam was run out. The comedy of errors triggered a meme-fest on Twitter, with people once again blaming Pakistan being less alert on the field.
