Moments that are frequently found only in the European Cricket Series (ECS) can also be found in other franchise-based leagues and international cricket. Proof of such a claim is the most recent release from ECS. A strange runout proved to be the game’s determining factor during an ECS Italy T10 encounter between Asian Latina and Royal Roma.

Bizarre Run Out That Left Social Media In Splits
Asian Latina needed two runs in the space of one ball, so the batters’ heartbreaking attempt to force a tie cost them the game, giving Royal Roma a razor-thin one-run victory. With two in one ball remaining, Umar Shahzad, who had the ball in his hands for the final over, delivered a wide delivery.
To prevent the batsman Khan Saleem, from making solid contact with the ball on the following delivery, who was on strike, Shahzad opted for the same line. Saleem gave it his all. But he was unable to make contact with the ball. By sneaking in bye, the batters attempted to force a tie, but the goalie was up to the challenge. He under-armed the ball in an airborne motion at the bowler. However, the ball sailed between the bowler’s legs before deflecting and striking the stumps.
The unexpected change of events resulted in Asian Latina winning the match by one run, leaving Saleem well behind. Even the pundits found it difficult to accept what had just happened in front of them.
Social media is suddenly awash with posts about the tragedy.
