Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan was hilariously seen opting for DRS (Decision Review System) during the second ODI against Australia after consulting with the opposition batter Adam Zampa on Friday, November 8. The incident took place during the 34th over of the first innings at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide as Zampa tried to hook Naseem Shah’s bouncer but ended up missing it.
However, Rizwan felt that Zampa got an edge on the ball as he began appealing after collecting it behind the stumps. The Pakistan captain further consulted with his bowler to see if he felt there was something but even Naseem wasn’t sure. This made him hilariously ask Zampa if he heard something and the Australia batter responded by saying “You guys appeal for everything.”
Rizwan further consulted with the opposition batter should he take the review and Zampa replied, “You should take it.” The Pakistan immediately went for the review and the replays showed that there was clear gap between bat and ball and hence decision stayed not out.
Watch the incident here:
Meanwhile, Pakistan once again put up a great bowling show in the second ODI as they bundled out Australia for 163 in 35 overs. Haris Rauf continued his marvellous form after picking three wickets in the first ODI in Melbourne and took the second five wicket haul of his career.

Naseem Shah (1/57) and Mohammad Hasnain (1/27) also picked one wicket each with the latter getting the prized scalp of Steve Smith (35).
