SA won the 2nd ODI BY 17 runs

Amazing innings by Fakhar
Chasing 342 to win

Pakistan 9/324
Fakhar 194 from 155 balls

Man of the match - Fakhar

Some talk that De Kock misled Fakhar, that lead to his run out

Would have been a 5 run penalty, and Pakistan only needing 12 runs from 5 balls with Fakhar still at the crease

However, there was a debate surrounding the dismissal, with wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock appearing to gesture that the throw from Markram might be going to the non-striker's end. Zaman slowed down considerably, believing his end wasn't under attack, but the throw took him by surprise and put paid to his valiant knock.

If de Kock's gesture was a deliberate misdirection, it would fall foul of the laws of the game, with the possibility of five penalty runs and the ball having to be re-bowled. Law 41.5.1 states that "it is unfair for any fielder wilfully to attempt, by word or action, to distract, deceive or obstruct either batsman after the striker has received the ball".

That’s an interesting one, people point and direct throws all the time... depends what he says I guess. Miandad would have loved it lol

what a terrific innings

 

[AlwaysGreen]

In this one, no one told Fakhar to take notice of De Kock, if he had put his head down and kept running hard he would have been in. He acknowledged that himself.

Still, two certainties remain, it was a great knock and de kock is an absolute merkin.

Interesting fact about Fakher's innings- it is now the highest score in a run chase in an ODI surpassing Shane Watson 185* again Bangladesh in 2011 and the highest individual score in a defeat.

 

[Bazal]

I think it was a bit of shitf**kery from De Kock but keepers direct throws all the time... basically Fakar should have just run and presumed it was coming to his end. Basics of cricket

 

[Mr Spock!]

I think the rule's a bit of a toss.

 

[TheParraboy]

Fakhar another ton, in great form
101 (104)

3rd ODI
Pak 7/320 (50 overs)

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Pakistan win the 3rd game and the series.

Pak 7/320, SA 292.

As PB said another hundred for Fakher and 94 for Babar.

Fakher and Babar would walk into any ODI side, too bad there's not much else around them.

 

[hineyrulz]

That Fakher is in really good form.

Babar now number 1 in ODIs too....he's a very good player. And great to watch.
