There are moments in a game that are filled with absolute humour, leaving both teams in fits of laughter. A similar scene unfolded in the final T20I between Australia and Pakistan, where Abbas Afridiā€™s no-ball handed Australia the win, sending waves of laughter across the ground.

Abbas Afridi's no-ball handed Australia a win in the final T20I
ā€ŒAaron Hardieā€™s three-wicket haul was crucial in restricting Pakistan to just 117 runs after Australia chose to bowl first at Hobart. Babar Azamā€™s 41 off 28 gave Pakistan some hope, but Australiaā€™s chase was led by Marcus Stoinis, who smashed 61 off 27 to seal the win by seven wickets. A humorous moment occurred during Pakistanā€™s chase when, with just one run needed, Abbas Afridi bowled a no-ball.

After Stoinisā€™ onslaught, the equation was reduced to one run from 52 deliveries. Abbas, having just been hit for a six, was about to bowl the third delivery of the 12th over when the crowd began chanting. He delivered a waist-high full toss, which Stoinis hit towards deep square leg, where Sahibzada Farhan took an easy catch. Stoinis removed his helmet and began walking off, but the umpire signaled a no-ball. As Tim David shared a laugh with Stoinis, Abbas was unaware that just one run was needed and started his run-up again. Realizing his mistake, he quickly acknowledged the no-ball, and Pakistan had already lost. The funny incident quickly went viral on social media, with fans sharing a laugh at the anti-climactic finish.
