PAK vs SA: Salman Ali Agha, Naseem Shah’s funny conversation lights up Pakistan’s chase

In a thrilling match where Pakistan chased down a target of 240 with three wickets in hand and just three balls to spare, the partnership between Salman Ali Agha and Naseem Shah became the talk of the town—not just for their cricketing heroics, but for their light-hearted banter in the middle.

With Pakistan struggling at 209/7, the duo stepped up, adding a crucial 33-run partnership for the eighth wicket. As the tension mounted, Naseem Shah was spotted offering some batting lessons to his partner, Salman Ali Agha, ensuring they avoided risky plays and kept their focus on the target.

During one moment, Naseem was heard advising Agha, "If there’s a single, just take it. Don’t go for unnecessary risky runs. We’re not here to take foolish chances. You just have to stay at the crease. This is working fine, so don’t rush it. If there’s a single, take it—no need to force doubles.” 

In response, Salman cheekily told Naseem, "You run faster first! The boundary is wide open over there."

As the duo neared the finish line, Naseem humorously scolded Salman, saying, “We only need five runs, and you’re still trying to hit big shots. What are you trying to prove with five runs left?”

Their light-hearted exchanges didn’t just ease the pressure but also brought smiles to fans’ faces. With three balls to spare, Salman (82 not out) and Naseem Shah (9 not out) guided Pakistan to a memorable victory. Their witty on-field camaraderie became as memorable as their game-saving partnership.
