Zahid Mahmood strikes for Paikstan in crucial moment
Zahid Mahmood delivered the 36th over for Pakistan. The batsman attempted to score a four on the third ball of this over by playing a sweep, but he was caught off guard by Zahid’s delivery. The ball fell inward and hit the leg. The umpire did not give out when the bowler appealed for LBW, so captain Babar Azam requested a review, which resulted to the duckett’s dismissal.
