In a bizarre series of events, Ahmer bin Nasir’s Bahrain were dismissed for nought in the super over during a game against Yasim Murtaza’s Hong Kong in Kuala Lumpur, in the ongoing Malaysia Tri-Nation T20I Series. Hong Kong came into the match having been defeated by Bahrain in their previous clash in the series last week. Opting to bat first, Hong Kong posted a paltry 129/7, with Pakistan-born Shahid Wasif scoring 31 while batting at No. 6. Rizwan Butt picked two wickets for Bahrain. ? Thriller at the Bayuemas! HK defeat Bahrain in the super overs! ?? 129/8 (20); 0/2(0.3)#BRNvsHK #MalaysiaT20I pic.twitter.com/gewyO5xsQK — Malaysia Cricket (@MalaysiaCricket) March 14, 2025 In the chase, Fiaz Ahmed and Prashant Kurup gave their team a steady start before the former was dismissed by Murtaza in the fifth over. Bahrain were soon reduced to 67/5 in the 15th over, before Nasir and Imran Anwar built a 42-run partnership for the sixth wicket to take their team closer to the target, before Anwar was dismissed in the 18th over by Ateeq Iqbal. With 13 runs needed off the last over, six runs came off the first four balls before Nasir smacked Nasrulla Rana for a six to bring the equation down to 1 off 1. But Nasir was caught behind on the final ball to level the scores and take the match into a super over. Nasir was dismissed on the second ball of the super over, Sohail Ahmed departed on the third, and Bahrain’s score was at 0/2. Babar Hayat needed three balls to score a single and win the thriller.
