Watch: Bangladesh keeper recreates MS Dhoni’s iconic run out in Women’s Asia Cup 2024

Bangladesh Women thrashed Malaysia Women by 114 runs in the final game of the league stage as the cricket teams set to move towards the business end of the Women’s Asia Cup 2024. Notably, the Bangladeshi side posted the biggest total on the board, followed by the stunning bowling line performances, which were capped off with a run out by wicketkeeper Dilara Akter.

This crucial runout came during the last ball of the game when Jahanara Alam bowled a short delivery on off. Star batter Nur Izzarul was seen trying to pull it but got an inside edge that rolled to the leg stump for the wicketkeeper. The stylish right-handed hitter was looking to take a single run, but keeper Dilara Akter ran towards the ball quickly, collected, and fired a direct hit at the batter’s end. This run-out brought back famous memories of MS Dhoni’s run-out of star cricketer Mustafizur Rahman in the 2016 T20 World Cup.
