The second ODI between Pakistan and Afghanistan on Thursday had a controversial moment when, with PAK needing 11 off six balls, the latter’s bowler Fazalhaq Farooqi of AFG showed extreme game awareness and ran out Shadab Khan at the non-striker’s end. Shadab Khan, who was running amok scoring 48 off 35 balls, was backing up too far on the first ball of the last over.

Farooqi while bowling the first delivery ran him out. Though, Afghanistan started celebrating, Shadab waited. The TV umpire agrees though agreed that it was indeed a run out. However, a few balls later, Naseem Shah gave Pakistan the win.
