After the nail-biting match between Pakistan and New Zealand, AB de Villiers calls attention to a “grey area” in the rule book

At the National Stadium in Karachi, Pakistan and New Zealand played their second and final test match, which ended in an exciting finish despite the fact that there were still three overs left to play when the match was called off early.

After Naseem Shah and Abrar Ahmed survived 21 balls in Karachi while chasing a goal of 319, Pakistan’s score was 304 for 9 and they were in the process of chasing the target.

The on-field umpires, Alex Wharf and Aleem Dar, were obliged to call an early end to the match because of the terrible lighting conditions. Both sides were on the verge of winning the series at the time.

After the game came to a draw, AB de Villiers, who had previously captained South Africa, resorted to Twitter to express his confusion regarding the bad light regulation.

By implying that the fact that teams are only permitted to bowl spin makes the competition unfair, he drew attention to a “grey area” in the rule book.

“Another ambiguous spot in the policy manual, in my opinion. They should be required to finish the overs with spin bowling until the umpires call it off because the bowling team has the option to switch to seam bowling at any time to finish the match. If the fielding team is told to bowl spin because of poor lighting and they choose to do so, they should be forced to finish the overs with spin bowling “de Villiers tweeted.

“If the team that is batting is successful in reducing the number of required runs to around five, the fielding team has the option of bringing in a seamer. Not fair imo, “he stated in one of his earlier tweets.

Before the umpires called a halt to play because of the poor lighting, Pakistan was just 15 runs away from securing victory, while New Zealand only needed one more wicket to win. Both teams were in the process of batting when the play was stopped.

The highest score for the home team was 118, which was achieved by Sarfaraz Ahmed. The best bowling performance came from Michael Bracewell of New Zealand, who took four wickets for 75 runs. Due to the fact that the first Test match that was played in Karachi also finished in a draw, the trophy was shared by both sides.
