‘We Want To Live…’: Iceland Cricket’s Witty Remark On Saim Ayub’s 3 Consecutive Ducks Goes Viral Ahead Of IND Vs PAK Asia Cup Super 4 Match
**Saim Ayub Faces Social Media Backlash After Struggling in Asia Cup 2025**
Pakistan batter Saim Ayub has come under sharp social media scrutiny following a difficult campaign in the group stage of the Asia Cup 2025. The young left-hander failed to score a single run across three matches, drawing widespread attention and criticism online.
Ayub’s scores read 0 (1) against Oman, 0 (1) against India, and 0 (2) against UAE, leaving him without a run from 4 balls faced in the tournament. This rare statistical anomaly prompted Iceland Cricket—known for their cheeky and satirical takes on global cricket—to deliver a stinging troll.
In a post that quickly went viral, Iceland Cricket wrote:
*“We want to live in a world of peace, prosperity, and equality, where no man or woman goes without, and thus Saim Ayub can buy a run.”*
The sarcastic jab refers to the phrase often used to describe batters so out of form that they can’t even “buy” a run at the crease.
Once hailed as one of Pakistan’s most promising T20 prospects, the 23-year-old came into the Asia Cup with high expectations to make an impact at the top of the order. However, his duck-filled campaign has raised serious concerns about his form heading into the tournament’s tougher fixtures.
While Pakistan has advanced to the Super 4 stage, the question remains whether the team management will continue to back Ayub or consider a reshuffle to strengthen the batting lineup.
