23 -year -old Saim Ayub registered on Thursday 25th September his fourth Duck Asia Cup 2025. Saim played virtual semifinals against Bangladesh, after playing only three balls.
The young left -handed time had a taste at the tournament and in any game could not push through his dominance. Of the 6 games he scored only 23 runs, including four ducks, so Pakistani fans were confused. The administration of the catastrophic form of Saim Ayub, which sought to claws, meant that Pakistan never got into PowerPlay.
The fans were left angry after the same thing happened again in their final match Super 4 against Bangladesh when Ayub handed the catch directly in the hands of half in the second during the game. Ayub now has in his career T20i 9 ducks, the second highest in Pakistan history. Only Umar Akmal (10) remains in front of him.

Most ducks for Pakistan in T20is
- Umar Akmal: 10 out of 84 matches
- Saim Ayub: 9 out of 47* matches
- Shahid Afridi: 8 out of 99 matches
- Kamran Akmal: 7 out of 58 matches
- Mohammad hafeez: 7 out of 119 matches
- Babar Azam: 7 from 128* matches
The fans torn into Ayub after the closure of his shifts and at the moment called him the most exaggerated young man in an international cricket. Many have questioned the long rope, which was given the cricket directly in front of the World Cup T20 2026.
The position of the Supreme Order has always been controversial for Pakistan in recent years. When Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan opened shifts for the party, the main complaint of the fans was that both players never developed at the rate of the game.
With Saim Ayub, it is the main criticism that they will never allow to settle and play the merit of the ball.
In 47 T20is Saim scored 839 runs on average only 19.97. His strike is 134.88, higher than most of his compatriots.
