Iceland Cricket, who are known for their hilarious social media posts, took a brutal dig at Pakistan opener Saim Ayub as he managed to break his drought in the Asia Cup 2025 during the Super Four clash against India at Dubai International Stadium in Dubai. Ayub, who got out on ducks in Pakistan's three outings of the tournament, managed to get off the mark with a boundary against India.
Iceland Cricket took their 'X', formerly known as Twitter to take a brutal dig at the Pakistan opener, calling him the 'duck-making legend'.
"Saim Ayub - the man, the myth, and the duck-making legend - has hit a boundary!" wrote Iceland Cricket.
Coming back to the match, while writing this copy, Saim Ayub has scored 21 runs in 15 balls and Sahibzada Farhan has crossed the fifty-run mark. The game is going in favour of the Men in Green.
Earlier, India captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and opted to bowl against Pakistan. He again refused to shake hands with his Pakistani counterpart, Salman Ali Agha. India speedster Jasprit Bumrah and Spin wizard Varun Chakravarthy again came into the playing XI after missing the last clash against Oman. This is the second outing between the Asian Rivals. In the first Asia Cup clash, India beat Pakistan by seven wickets to seal their berth in the Group Stage.
