Twitter reacts to anti-climax at the Wanderers as De Kock’s ‘disgraceful’ act costs Fakhar Zaman well-deserved double-century
In one of the most anti-climactic moments in cricket history, Fakhar Zaman was left heart-shattered as he was run out 7 short of a well-deserved double-ton. However, Quinton de Kock’s actions have now come under fire as a ‘fake fielding’ attempt from the WK ended up putting the batsman off.
Perfect bluff from QDK

Unlucky
Fakhar Zaman run-out on 193 runs from 155 balls including 18 fours and 10 sixes while chasing 342 runs. What a knock under pressure with no support from other end. Take a bow, Fakhar. #SAvPAK pic.twitter.com/GdvOE84nGK

Brilliant display of batting
Fakhar Zaman's knock today is currently the highest ever Batting Impact for an ODI innings. Gobsmacking stuff. #SAvPAK

Incredible
Fakhar Zaman is now the first Asian cricketer whose first 5 ODI hundreds have all been outside Asia.
