Pakistan’s Usama Mir Dismissed in Bizarre Hit Wicket Incident in The Hundred
In an extraordinary turn of events, Pakistan’s Usama Mir became the victim of an unusual hit wicket dismissal during a The Hundred Men’s match between Manchester Originals and Southern Brave at the Rose Bowl in Southampton on Thursday. The incident occurred on the final delivery of the Manchester innings, leaving fans and commentators alike in disbelief.
As Chris Jordan bowled a yorker outside the off stump, Mir, who was deep inside his crease, attempted a shot but inadvertently struck the top of the stumps with his bat. The right-hander’s unexpected dismissal was one of the most peculiar ways a batter can get out.
Mir had managed to score 11 runs off seven balls, including two boundaries, before his bizarre exit. Manchester Originals posted a total of 116 for 6, which proved insufficient against the Southern Brave. The Brave chased down the target with ease, securing a comprehensive win by 7 wickets with 22 balls to spare.
The Hundred’s official handle on Twitter shared a visual of the incident, highlighting the unusual nature of the dismissal. The caption read: “You don’t see batters get out like this very often! Usama Mir hits his wicket on the final ball of Manchester Originals’ innings.”
The bizarre dismissal has sparked discussions among cricket enthusiasts, with many expressing their surprise and amusement. It serves as a reminder that even in a sport as familiar as cricket, unexpected and extraordinary incidents can occur.
