Pakistan batter Saim Ayub has been brutally trolled after notching up his fourth duck of Asia Cup 2025 as he was dismissed by Mahedi Hasan during the decisive match against Bangladesh in Dubai on Thursday. Netizens slammed Ayub for his lack of match awareness and trolled by referring to him as 'updated version of Babar Azam'.

The southpaw's dismissal during Thursday's match occurred only in the second over as Jaker Ali brought Ayub into the attack. The left-hander, who is an explosive batter, went for the big shot by trying to clear mid-on. However, the youngster only picked out Rishad Hossain, who took a simple catch as Bangladesh took two Pakistani wickets within the powerplay.

The 23-year-old had scored a duck against India, Oman and UAE before the Bangladesh game.

Litton Das continued to stay on the sidelines as Jaker Ali had won the toss for the second consecutive day in Asia Cup 2025 and opted to bowl first at the Dubai International Stadium. Bangladesh have confirmed three changes to the XI, while Pakistan remained unchanged.

Pakistan (Playing XI): Sahibzada Farhan, Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub, Salman Agha(c), Hussain Talat, Mohammad Haris(w), Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed.
