Pakistan defeated Australia by 9 wickets in the second ODI match of the series, held in Adelaide on Friday. During the game, an interesting moment took place between Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan and Australia’s Adam Zampa. During Australia’s innings, Rizwan sought DRS on Zampa’s advice, only to face a setback. A video of this humorous exchange has been shared on social media.
The Australian team batted first, with Zampa coming in at number 10. During the 34th over, bowled by Pakistan’s Naseem Shah, Rizwan appealed on the fourth ball, but the umpire dismissed it. Rizwan then asked Zampa if he should take the DRS, to which Zampa replied, “Definitely, go for it!”
Rizwan took DRS and suffered a loss –
When Rizwan took DRS, the ball was slightly above the bat. It did not touch the bat. Hence Adam Zampa was declared not out. In this way, one DRS of Pakistan went in vain.
Rizwan: Did you hear something?
Zampa: You are appealing for everything?
Rizwan: Should I take the review?
Zampa: Yes, you should
– Rizwan takes the review and DRS says Not-out.
