Pakistan captain Salman Ali Aga looked fuming after a risky mess-up with his batting partner Sahibzada Farhan during the opening match of the T20 World Cup 2026 against Netherlands in Colombo. This was a small incident, but the pressure within the Pakistani camp was clearly visible.
Tension spreads in Pakistan camp during the opening ceremony of T20 World Cup 2026
The incident occurred on the last ball of the fourth over when Pakistan is chasing 148 runs to defeat Netherlands in the opening match of the T20 World Cup 2026 at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo.
Well, Kyle Klein sent the ball to Salman Ali Aga at a speed of 127.2 kmph. The ball is pitched on good length and outside the off stump and the Pakistan captain tried to play a strong drive shot. But the bullet doesn’t hit properly.

The ball hits the inside edge of his bat and then hits his pad. And then, the ball slowly turned towards the leg side and did not go very far.
Salman Ali Aga is angry that Pakistan did not suffer a single blow due to Sahibzada Farhan’s confusion.
Both Salman and Farhan thought about taking a run, but it ended in a confused situation, with one thinking of running away and the other unsure. In the end, Farhan decided not to take the single.
Ultimately, the Pakistan cricket team was unable to score runs on the ball because of that hesitation and confusion, and Salman was clearly angry with Farhan because he wanted runs.
As the Pakistan captain could not take a run off the bowling of Kyle Clyne, he glared at his batting partner as he too could have been run out because of Farhan.
