Watch: Mohammad Rizwan hilariously asks Taskin Ahmed if he edged the ball before reviewing the decision - Video Highlights of the Day

Pakistan and Bangladesh are locking horns in Match 31 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Tuesday, October 31 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. After opting to bat first, Bangladesh were bundled out for 204 in 45.1 overs as Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Wasim Jr picked up three wickets each. During their innings, a hilarious moment was witnessed on the pitch as Pakistan wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan asked Taskin Ahmed if he hit the ball before reviewing an umpire’s decision.

The incident took place on the first ball of the 43^rd over bowled by Shaheen Afridi as Taskin tried to flick him but the ball ended up brushing his pad and carrying to Rizwan behind the stumps. Afridi and Rizwan immediately went up for the appeal for caught behind which was turned down by the on-field umpire. Following that, they began consulting with the captain Babar Azam to review the decision. The Pakistan wicketkeeper even hilariously consulted with Taskin to know if he had got the edge which left the commentator Ravi Shastri in splits.

Earlier in the match, Bangladesh got off to the worst possible start as Afridi dismissed opener Tanzid Hasan (0 off 5) for a duck in the first over itself. He further dismissed Najmul Hossain Shanto in his second over getting him caught at short mid-wicket. Bangladesh were left in all sorts of trouble as Mushfiqur Rahim (5 off 8) was dismissed by Haris Rauf leaving his side on 23/3 after six overs.

Pakistan seamers picked up eight wickets among them

Following their early dismissals, Litton Das (45 off 64), Mahmudullah (56 off 70) and Shakib Al Hasan (43 off 64) played crucial knocks to keep their side in the game. However, Pakistan seamers ran through their batting order and bundled them for 204. Shaheen Afridi (3/23, 9 overs) and Mohammad Wasim Jr (3/31, 8.1 overs) picked up three wickets each while Haris Rauf (2/36, 8 overs) also picked two wickets.
