Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan, in a light-hearted moment caught on the stump mic, asked Australian batter Adam Zampa before taking a review during the ongoing second ODI between two teams in Adelaide on Friday.
Leg-spinner Zampa came out to bat after the fall of the eighth wicket in the 29th over with the scoreboard reading 130.
The aforementioned moment occurred during the 34th over when Zampa attempted to hook Naseem Shah’s bouncer, but he missed the ball, which landed in Rizwan’s gloves. Pakistan fielders made a strong appeal but the umpire remained unmoved.

Rizwan first consulted with the bowler, then asked Zampa if he had edged it.
“You heard something?” Rizwan asked Zampa, to which the leg-spinner replied hilariously, “You guys appeal for everything.”
Rizwan then asked Zampa if he should take the review, to which the Australian responded “Yeah you should, you should take it.”
The Pakistan captain referred the decision, but replays revealed that the ball had passed well above his bat, so the on-field decision stood.
Zampa stuck around for 21 balls, scoring crucial 18 runs to push Australia’s total to 163 before Shaheen Afridi bowled him to bundle the team.
As of this writing, Pakistan have scored 130 runs without a loss in response to Australia”s 163. Abdullah Shafique and Saim Ayub are unbeaten on 41 and 81 respectively.
