Pakistan keeper-batter Mohammad Haris faced criticism on social media after failing to ground his bat before taking off for a second run during the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 match against Bangladesh at the Dubai International Stadium.

A video of the incident quickly surfaced online, with replays clearly showing that the right-handed batter had not grounded his bat. The moment occurred in the 11th over of the innings bowled by Mahedi Hasan. Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha took a big stride forward and flicked the ball to long-on. Both Pakistan batters sprinted quickly as Bangladesh fielder Rishad Hossain misfielded, allowing Pakistan to take two runs. However, the replays highlighted Haris’s lack of awareness for not properly grounding his bat before running.

### Innings Summary

The Men in Green lost the in-form Sahibzada Farhan early, with Taskin Ahmed dismissing him in the very first over. Pakistan struggled to build any momentum and eventually finished their innings at 135/8.

Mohammad Haris was the top scorer for Pakistan, managing a quickfire 31 runs off just 23 balls, providing some resistance for the bowlers to defend.

With 136 runs needed in 20 overs, Pakistan’s bowling attack will need to put in an exceptional performance to keep Bangladesh from chasing down the target.
