Fakhar Zaman run-out on 193 after Quinton de Kock's 'fake fielding'
Last Updated : 05 Apr 2021 05:26:34 AM IST

 

Fakhar Zaman played an ODI knock for the ages as Pakistan ran the hosts close — losing by 17 runs — in the 2nd ODI vs South Africa in Johannesburg on Sunday. Fakhar Zaman scored 193 runs off 155 balls before being run out in the last over – breaking the record for the highest score in an ODI innings when batting second. The previous highest when chasing in an ODI was 185 not out by Shane Watson.

Fakahr Zaman was run out in the 50th over — getting done in by what looked like a piece of gamesmanship by former South African captain and current wicket-keeper Quinton de Kock.
 
Kock pointed his finger towards Lungi Ngidi, the bowler, but in fact Aiden Markram, the fielder, threw the ball towards the keeper’s end and it was a direct hit. Fakahr Zaman was running casually at the end of his second run and could not make it back into his crease.
 
By pointing to the non-strikers’ end to trick Fakhar Zaman, was Quinton de Kock guilty of violating the laws of cricket? More importantly, was it a breach of sportsmanship?
 
‘Fake fielding’ is the action caused by a fielder when he makes movements of some of his body parts only to confuse batsmen into making mistakes. According to Law 41.5.1, “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.”
