With 31 wanted off the final 6 balls within the 2nd ODI South Africa-Pakistan ODI, Fakhar Zaman drove pacer Lungi Ngidi to lengthy off and got here again for a second run. Spotting a possibility for a wicket, wicketkeeper Quinton De Kock seemingly pointed to the non striker’s finish even after the throw was accomplished, which led to Zaman pondering the throw was not coming to his finish. However, the throw was in his course and a run out caught him quick. Zaman was out for 193, the second highest particular person rating in ODIs batting second and the best in a dropping trigger whereas chasing. SA levelled the collection 1-1 and naturally, Pakistan followers weren’t pleased with what QDK did and took to twitter to vent their anger towards the younger South African
The run-out put the highlight on ‘fake fielding’. Now, was de Kock deceiving the batsman? Even after figuring out the throw was coming to his finish, why did he level to the non striker’s course? Or was it simply a intelligent ploy? The debate will proceed. Meanwhile, Pakistan may marvel what might have been; had that been dominated faux fielding, they’d have gotten 7 runs and the ball wouldn’t have been counted. 24 off 6 sounds a lot simpler than 31 off 6.
Here’s the run-out:
