A hilarious incident took place in the second ODI between Pakistan and Bangladesh, as all-rounder spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz dismissed Pakistan batter Salman Ali Agha in one of the most unconventional fashions.

Pakistan are currently on their tour to Bangladesh and is playing in a three-match ODI series. This marks Bangladesh’s return to international cricket, and they made a promising start by winning the first game of the series.

Pakistan, however, made a convincing start to the second ODI with a big opening partnership, and their middle-order batters, Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha, did a fair amount of work to keep the scoreboard running. However, what happened after has shocked the cricketing world.

Your daily dose of cricket!

Mehidy Hasan Miraz stoops to the lowest to dismiss Pakistan’s batter

Mehidy Hasan Miraz came back to bowl the 39th over of the spell, and Pakistan batters Salman Ali Agha and Mohammad Rizwan both looked forward to building a solid partnership. While Rizwan was nearing his half-century, Agha was going at a run-a-ball with the score of 64.

Rizwan played a straight shot right back towards the non-striker, and Salman Agha failed to dodge it, and the ball was stopped after it hit his pads. The Pakistani batter went to pick up the ball and hand it over to Mehidy Hasan Miraz as a part of sportsmanship, but the Bangladeshi all-rounder was nothing but competitive.

He instead picked the ball and threw it at the stumps, since Agha was out of his crease and appealed for a run-out. The umpire had to abide by the cricketing laws, and Agha was given out.

Salman Ali Agha tried to pick up the ball and give it back to the bowler, but the bowler ran him out. 😭

Mehidy Hasan Miraz dismissed Mohammad Rizwan in the same over

After the shocking dismissal, Salman Agha looked visibly agitated and left the field. This led to a collapse in the Pakistan innings, as Mohammad Rizwan, who was the only set batter in the crease, was dismissed by the Bangladesh skipper on the final ball of that over.

The former ODI skipper for Pakistan departed after a well-made 44, which once gave stability in the middle overs. However, just when Pakistan needed to accelerate in their slog overs, they kept losing wickets and were bowled out for just 274 runs after having made a good start.

Before Agha’s dismissal, Pakistan was at 231/3, with Maaz Sadaqat, the young 20-year-old strokemaker, having handed the Greens a very promising start. He gave them a solid start with a century partnership with Pakistan’s T20 World Cup hero Sahibzada Farhan.

Bangladesh handed Pakistan a humiliating loss in the 1st ODI

Pakistan had started the ODI series with a humiliating defeat in the first game. Nahid Rana, the lanky Bangladesh speedster, almost ran a rampage as Pakistan was bowled out for a score of 114 in just 30.4 overs. Bowling all-rounder Faheem Ashraf remained their highest scorer with 37 runs.

Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman picked up a wicket each, while Nahid Rana, the star of the game for the home side, dismissed 5 of the Pakistan batters. The skipper, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, also picked up three wickets in the match.

Bangladesh batter Tanzid Hasan scored an unbeaten half-century as they chased the total with 209 balls remaining. They took a convincing lead, winning the game by 8 wickets.

Mumbai: With the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) advising state pollution regulators to temporarily allow industries, hotels and restaurants to use alternate fuels in view of LPG supply constraints, the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) chairman Siddhesh Kadam said his department was drafting a proposal to expedite it. A final call, however, will be taken by the state govt. In the meantime, several restaurants have begun using pellets, coal, biomass, etc. In an advisory issued on March 12 to all PCBs and Pollution Control Committees (PCCs), the CPCB said establishments operating under Consent to Operate (CTO) are usually required to use specific approved fuels so that emissions remain within prescribed norms. Bombay High Court had also stressed that public health and the right to clean air must take precedence over commercial considerations while dealing with pollution sources in Mumbai. Hearing PILs on rising pollution, the court had directed authorities to ensure that bakeries, restaurants and other establishments shift from wood- or coal-based ovens to cleaner fuels.However, citing an “extraordinary situation” caused by LNG supply disruption, the national pollution watchdog said state regulators may permit temporary use of alternate fuels after consulting the respective state govts or Union Territory administrations.According to the advisory, establishments may be allowed to switch to fuels such as biomass or refuse-derived fuel (RDF) pellets in place of PNG for a limited period. The CPCB clarified that such permission should be granted only for a short duration and not exceeding one month from the date of issuance of the advisory.The board also said that if these alternative fuels are not available, use of kerosene or coal could be considered as a temporary option, subject to consultation with the state govt and compliance with directions issued by courts or other competent authorities.The move comes amid fuel supply disruptions that have affected commercial establishments, particularly eateries and small industrial units, in major cities. Restaurants and small businesses rely heavily on PNG or LPG for daily operations.Officials said the temporary relaxation is aimed at ensuring that commercial activity is not disrupted. Environmental groups, however, cautioned that allowing kerosene or coal could worsen air quality in the city at a time when rising heat and humidity already contribute to deteriorating pollution levels.Stakeholders in the oil sector too questioned the viability of the move. Fuel dealer Kedar Chandak said bulk kerosene stocks rarely exist since the banning of the fuel a few years ago. The Indian Hotel and Restaurant Association president, Vijay Shetty, said even finding coal for his restaurant was difficult.
