Quinton de Kock Accused of Fake Fielding After Fakhar Zaman Run Out

Zaman belted boundaries with alarming regularity leaving South Africa camp worried. The contest entered the final over with Pakistan needing 14 runs to win and Zaman still batting. However, off the very first delivery of the over, bowled by Lungi Ngidi, Zaman was run out while taking a second run ending his team’s hopes.

Zaman was haring back to the striker’s end when wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock made a signal towards the bowler, apparently asking the fielder Aiden Markram to direct his throw from the deep towards the non-striker’s end.

Zaman ended up looking back and in turn, slowed down with Markram’s direct-hit finding him well short of the popping crease. De Kock signalled his hand towards Zaman in a cheeky ‘I got you there’ fashion.
