Shadab Khan and Fazalhaq Farooqi were at the centre stage of a run-out at the non-striker's end in the Afghanistan vs Pakistan 2nd ODI in Hambantota. Babar Azam's side played a jaw-dropping thriller against Hashmatullah Shahidi-led Afghanistan where the Men in Green prevailed by one wicket. Naseem Shah produced a deja vu moment as he took his team over the finishing line yet again against Afghanistan in a victory that sparked huge celebrations in the Pakistan dressing room. But before a special win, Pakistan were in a spot of bother with Shadab Khan's dismissal.
The Pakistani side needed 11 runs in the last six balls as all the hopes were pinned on Shadab, who had made 48 from 35 balls and looked keen to take the team home. But the all-rounder was not at the strike as Naseem faced the first ball of the over from Fazalhaq Farooqi. However, Farooqi probably had his thoughts well set and he affected a run-out at the non-striker's end, where Shadab was caught backing away before the ball had delivered. The bowler broke the stumps, while Shadab was backing away and he went on his way without looking back as to what had happened.

However, the dismissal did not go well with a section of fans as they criticised Farooqi's act. A user called the Afghan bowler's act as a 'coward act', while another user stated that 'Farooqi's gonna remember this for the rest of his life'. Have a look at some of the reactions.
