Imam-ul-Haq's run-out
A mix-up between Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam caused the former’s dismissal in the second ODI against West Indies in Multan. Both the batsmen had put on a 120-run stand when Fakhar Zaman had to go back to the pavillion earlier.
Just after when Babar had reached his half-century, in the 28th over, Imam hit the ball towards mid-wicket from Akeal Hosein’s delivery. Iman then gone for a single but Babar was caught ball-watching and showed no interest to the run at all. He sent his partner back when he had already reached the non-striker’s end. Wicket-keeper Shai Hope took off the stumps before Imam could reach the crease. He was totally dissapointed and hit his bat on the ground before walking out.
Pakistan Cricket Board’s official Twitter handle shared the video of the run out. Watch it below:
