Pakistan's fielding standards pop up in everyone's mind whenever there is a blunder happen on cricket fields. This is very obvious, given the number of mistakes they have often made lately at the international level.

Such a scene happened at Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad, when the Dolphins met the Panthers in Match 3 of Pakistan's Champions One Day Cup 2024. And Usama Mir and Haider Ali were the men who made headlines for this unwanted incident.

Saud Shakeel Perishes To Muhammad Hasnain's Vicious Bouncer

It was a brilliant bouncer by Muhammad Hasnain, and Saud Shakeel, the Dolphins' skipper, had little control while playing it. The left-handed batter knew he did not get the connection right before Usama Mir and Haider Ali, placed at deep fine leg and deep square leg respectively, kept on looking at the ball.

In the end, while Usama Mir took the catch, it was Haider Ali who got injured after a nasty collision. There was no communication at all for catching the ball, and hence, the unforeseen incident took place.

In the process, Shakeel had to depart after a 27-ball 24, which had only one four. They required their captain to stay in the middle, particularly when they were chasing a huge target of 329.
