Azhar Ali’s run-out could be the most bizarre dismissal of the year — Watch

Both Ali and Safiq looked bewildered following the dismissal as the Australian cricketers jumped in joy.

Pakistan batsman Azhar Ali was run-out in the most comical fashion during the third day of the second Test against Australia in the Abu Dhabi Test on Thursday.

During the 53rd over of the Pakistan second innings, Ali edged a Peter Siddle delivery past the gully fielder, towards the third man boundary. Ali and his partner Asad Shafiq thought the ball had crossed the boundary and came in the middle of the pitch to discuss something.

However, the ball had stopped inside the rope and Mitchell Starc reached it and threw the ball towards wicket-keeper Tim Paine and he removed the bails quickly. Both Ali and Shafiq looked bewildered as the Australian cricketers jumped in joy.

Medium pacer Mohammad Abbas took his maiden ten-wicket haul in a match to fire Pakistan to a 373-run win over Australia in the second Test in Abu Dhabi on Friday.

Abbas followed his 5-33 in the first innings with figures of 5-62 to wreck Australia for 164 after they were set a big 538-run target.

The win gave Pakistan a 1-0 win in the two-match series after Australia fought back to draw the first Test in Dubai last week.

This becomes Australia’s heaviest defeat against Pakistan, beating the 356-run hammering at this same venue four years ago.
