Pakistan opener Fakhar Zaman blamed himself for his controversial run-out against South Africa in the second ODI, saying it was "his own fault" for not looking at the fielder. Zaman's scintillating 193-run-knock ended in a bizarre fashion when he was undone by a direct hit from deep by Aiden Markram in the first ball of the final over. Zaman was comfortably positioned to complete the second run but he mistook the throw to be going to the other end before seeing the stumps disturbed by the direct hit. Questions are being asked of Quinton de Kock's deliberate attempt to distract Fakhar Zaman but the Pakistan opener thinks it was not 'Quinton's fault'. "The fault was mine as I was too busy looking out for Haris Rauf at the other end as I felt he'd started off a little late from his crease, so I thought he was in trouble. The rest is up to the match referee, but I don't think it's Quinton's fault," Fakhar Zaman said.
