Kamran Akmal’s Old Stumping Blunder Goes Viral Again
Former Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal is once again in the news — but not for the right reasons. During a World Championship of Legends match in Birmingham, Akmal missed a routine stumping opportunity that went instantly viral on social media.Playing against the England Champions, the mishap reminded fans of his previous blunders during his international career.
Missed Stumping, Missed Opportunity
The incident took place in the sixth over of England’s chase of 161. Shoaib Malik was bowling to former England wicketkeeper Phil Mustard, who came down the pitch looking for a big hit. He missed the ball completely — and gave Akmal a golden opportunity.
Instead of finishing an easy stumping, Akmal uncertainly — a moment that fans were quick to compare to his infamous wicketkeeping mistakes from the 2010s.
Mustard Seizes Opportunity, but Pakistan Prevails
Mustard didn’t just come back to life, he made the most of it, scoring a good half-century. He and Ian Bell put on 55 for the third wicket, and then Eoin Morgan came and put on another 48 before at last, it came down to the last over with 16 runs needed and after a flurry of runs, England managed to only score 10 runs. Pakistan Champions won by 5 runs.
Hafeez is the man
Pakistan were in trouble at the beginning of their innings, 84/6, but the captain Mohammad Hafeez played a captain’s knock – 54 from 34 balls, and this took them to a total of 160.He was also Player of the Match as his innings was crucial to the final score, and it was the difference at the end.
A “not-so-distant” memory for cricket unfold
For cricket fans who have followed Kamran Akmal’s career for nine years, this fumble might not have cost Pakistan this match, but it would undoubtedly remind me of his career. The footage from the game has already gained wide circulation with avid fans laughing again for a myriad of reasons.
