Johannesburg: South Africa’s wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock was blamed for ‘pretend fielding’ throughout Fakhar Zaman’s run out within the second ODI at Wanderers.
On the primary ball of the final over of the match, Fakhar turned again for a second, slowing up as he ran, apparently pondering the ball was headed to the opposite finish after De Kock intentionally satisfied Fakhar that he was secure by pointing in the direction of the non-striker’s finish.
Within the course of, Fakhar circled and appeared again to his companion, nevertheless, the ball hit the stumps on the Fakhar’s finish whereas he was wanting his crease. The act induced havoc on social media, terming De Kock as responsible of ‘pretend fielding’.
Listed here are the few legal guidelines that second this act in opposition to the principles. ‘Regulation 41.5: Deliberate distraction, deception or obstruction of batsman’
41.5.1 Along with 41.4, it’s unfair for any fielder wilfully to aim, by phrase or motion, to distract, deceive or impede both batsman after the striker has obtained the ball.

So far as I perceive this regulation, Fakhar Zaman ought to have been not out and Pakistan will need to have been awarded 5 penalty runs. pic.twitter.com/uFXD9zeOY4
