A disappointed Pakistan captain Babar Azam took it on his stride despite being on the wrong side of a DRS call during his team’s gut-wrenching one-wicket loss to South Africa in a World Cup match here on Friday.
It could have been all over in the 46th over for South Africa when a Haris Rauf delivery, bowled wide off the crease, stuck Keshav Maharaj on the pads and Pakistan went for the DRS call after on-field umpire ruled it not out.
Ball tracking showed that the ball would have kissed the leg stump but Maharaj survived the DRS appeal, courtesy Umpires’ Call, leaving the entire Pakistan unit distraught.
