Pak Vs SA: In the second match of the three-match ODI series, Pakistan's team lost to South Africa by 17 runs. For Pakistan, Fakhar Zaman played an outstanding 193 inning while batting brilliantly, but he could not win his team the victory. Fakhar made the world record by playing his biggest innings so far while chasing in ODI cricket. However, Pakistani batsman Fakhar Zaman missed his second double century and due to the cunning of Quinton Dickock returned to the pavilion in the runout. Meanwhile, former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has questioned Dickock's playing spirit and has fiercely placed his class.

Indeed, on the first ball of the last over of Pakistan's innings, Fakhar Zaman played Lungi Angidi for a long off and called for two runs. Fielding at long off, Adam Markram quickly picked up the ball and hurled it towards the batting end. Wicket-keeper Quinton Dickock, with Fakhar Zaman, cunningly made such a gesture as Markram's throw coming at the bowling end, after which Fakhar turned to look back and the ball hit the direct stump. Quintan Dickock's attitude did not go down well with many former Pakistani cricketers and fans and he trolled the South African batsman fiercely.

Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar also questioned Dickock's sportsmanship on his YouTube channel and explained the rules related to it. Shoaib said that Fakhar Zaman did what Dickock did with him was not true at all and it is against the spirit of the game. He said that a rule has also been made about this, according to which a 5-run penalty is imposed for doing such an act and that ball also has to be thrown again. Shoaib said that he wanted to see Fakhar's double century and he felt very bad seeing him get out like this.
