Asad Akhtar Bowled Big No Ball: The history of Pakistan cricket is filled with many dark chapters of match fixing and spot fixing. Mohammad Amir’s 2010 spot-fixing scandal, where he deliberately bowled a no-ball, is still remembered. After that incident, Aamir was banned for 5 years and also went to jail. Now once again an issue has come to light at the domestic level, which has sparked a debate among fans and cricket fans. Fans are also demanding investigation into this incident.
These Pakistani players are under question
Currently, the domestic tournament National T20 Cup is being played in Pakistan, the 16th match of which was played between Karachi Region Blues and Lahore Region Blues. This match took place on 14 March 2026 at Imran Khan Cricket Stadium in Peshawar. In which Karachi won the toss and batted first and made a strong score of 206 runs. But Lahore was all out for 149 runs, and Karachi won by 57 runs. In this match, fast bowler Asad Akhtar bowled only 1 over for Karachi, who is now under question.
Actually, Asad Akhtar bowled 2 no-balls and 2 wides in one over. Due to which he gave a total of 21 runs and did not take any wicket. A photo and video clip related to this over is going viral on social media, in which Asad Akhtar’s foot-fault no-ball is clearly visible. His leg is far out from the crease line. Such a big no ball is not usually seen in cricket. Fans say that throwing so many extras in one over seems suspicious, especially when the team was already in a strong position. Some users described it as ‘spot fixing’ and compared it to Mohammad Aamir’s scandal.
