USA Fans Mock Usman Tariq's Action, Accuse Pakistan Spinner Of 'Chucking' During PAK vs USA ICC T20 World Cup Clash; Video

In the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 match between Pakistan and the United States in Colombo, an unexpected subplot emerged off the field as fans from USA openly mocked Pakistan spinner Usman Tariq’s bowling action, accusing him of “chucking” during the game.

Tariq was a key figure in Pakistan’s 32-run victory over the USA, finishing with figures of 3 for 27 in a strong bowling performance at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground. However, rather than his match figures dominating conversation, attention shifted to his distinctive bowling style observed during his spell.

Spectators and social media users alike focused on his unusual “pause-and-deliver” action, with several fans in the stands mimicking his arm position and chanting accusations that he was “throwing” the ball rather than bowling it. Some supporters even circulated clips of people in the crowd imitating Tariq’s motion, adding fuel to the debate.

The controversy follows a broader discussion about Tariq’s action that has trailed him in international cricket. His bowling has been under scrutiny on social media during previous matches, including on occasions where players like Australia’s Cameron Green appeared to question its legality after being dismissed.
