Pakistan U19 Batter Involved in Hilarious Run Out While Trying To Evade the Ball in U19 World Cup 2026 [WATCH]

Pakistan U19 batter found the worst way possible to throw his wicket.

Pakistan U19 player Ali Raza was involved in a bizarre run-out during the U19 World Cup 2026 fixture against England U19 in Harare. It was among the most comical and silly ways to get run out when the team couldn’t afford it at all.

Momin Qamar pulled one towards the midwicket region, and while he initially wanted two runs, he settled for a single. However, on the other end, Raza hadn’t reached inside the crease, and as the throw came towards the wicketkeeper’s end, he tried to evade it and let the ball go instead of getting inside.

At that moment, he was well outside the crease, and while he immediately tried to put his bat within the crease, the wicketkeeper was quick enough to dislodge the bails. As the replays showed, Ali Raza was a split second late to make it, and England U19 earned a free wicket when they didn’t even expect anything like this.

Pakistan U19 batter did many things wrong during the whole process, and it was indeed a rookie mistake that was completely avoidable. Unfortunately, Qamar and Raza were the last pair standing, and this silly run-out took away the team’s chances of winning.
