Taskin Ahmed’s powerful six becomes an unexpected hit in BAN vs WI 1st T20I
It all unfolded during the fourth ball of the final over, bowled by rosemary shepherd. Shepherd bowled a short ball away from Taskin, clearly aiming to keep it out of the batsman’s hitting arc. However, Taskin, determined to smash the ball, dragged it away from the off stump and flicked it towards the mid-wicket fence for what looked like a six.
But just as Taskin made contact with the ball, disaster struck. In his attempt to bowl the ball over the leg side, he inadvertently went too far into the crease and his boots made contact with the stumps. The offside bail came off and the keeper’s bails fell off even before the ball arrived, leading to an unexpected and bizarre dismissal of the wicket. Taskin stood in disbelief at what had just happened, while Shepherd couldn’t help but give him a knowing smile.
With that, Taskin’s valiant attempt at a maximum ended in the strangest of ways, bringing Bangladesh’s innings unfortunately closer. It was a surreal moment that left everyone in the stadium stunned and marked the end of a spirited Bangladesh fight. Taskin’s look of disbelief said it all, from elation to despair in a single movement. The West Indies players, quickly realizing the result, celebrated a 16-run victory that gave them a crucial 1-0 lead in the series. It was one of those rare dismissals that was instantly etched in the library of cricket’s unforgettable moments.
