Fakhar Zaman scored 10 runs off 6 balls against India

Speaking of the video, Avesh Khan was bowling to Fakhar Zaman in the sixth over of the match. It was the fifth delivery of the over that Zaman nicked off faintly. However, the bowler and keeper did not hear any sound. Hence, they did not appeal also to the umpire.

But, Fakhar Zaman started walking back to the pavilion even before the umpire could raise his finger. However, the ultra edge confirmed that there was an edge while Zaman was trying to hit that ball. In fact, the on-field umpire also gave out only after seeing him walking back to the dressing room. Meanwhile, fans loved this honest gesture from Fakhar Zaman. He scored only 10 runs off 6 balls, including two boundaries. He batted at a strike rate of 166.66. On the other hand, Babar also failed to score big as he got out for 10 runs also.

Speaking of the match so far, Indian bowlers managed to maintain their line and length tight. Until 15 overs, Pakistan managed to score 103 runs by losing five wickets. Hardik Pandya took three wickets for 25 runs in his four overs. However, Indian bowlers will look to restrict them under a considerable target. But, India took a surprising decision by dropping Rishabh Pant over veteran wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik.
