Harare | January 2026
During an ICC U19 World Cup match in Harare, Pakistan suffered a 37-run defeat against England. The match concluded with an unusual incident when Pakistan’s Ali Raza accidentally run himself out while attempting a single in the 47th over. Despite already reaching the striker’s end, he overstepped the crease as the fielder threw the ball to the wicketkeeper. Pakistan had earlier struggled to chase England’s challenging total of 210 on a tricky pitch. The U19 side will next face Scotland on 19 January, aiming to recover from the early setback. The incident highlights the pressures young cricketers face in international tournaments, emphasizing the need for focus and awareness on the field.
