Salman Ali Agha and Naseem Shah: The Unlikely Comedy Duo of Pakistan Cricket

The first ODI between Pakistan and South Africa in Paarl delivered more than just a nail-biting cricket match. While Pakistan chased down 240 runs in a thrilling finish, it was the hilarious stump mic exchange between Salman Ali Agha and Naseem Shah that stole the spotlight and became an instant social media sensation.

With Pakistan at seven wickets down and the match hanging in the balance, Salman Ali Agha was leading the chase after a classy half-century.

The stump mic caught Naseem offering non-stop advice to Agha, from questioning the number of balls left in the over to debating whether to take singles. Fans compared their interaction to “two friends trying to finish a group project at the last minute,” with Naseem’s commentary adding a touch of comedy to the tense chase.

The chase didn’t start well for Pakistan, as they slumped to 60 for 4, putting the target of 240 runs out of sight. However, Saim Ayub and Salman Ali Agha turned the game around with a remarkable 141-run partnership.

Saim Ayub’s stunning century set the stage, while Agha anchored the innings with an unbeaten 82 runs, guiding Pakistan to a memorable victory with just three balls and three wickets to spare.
