Cheating alert! Pakistan openly violate rules as Naseem Shah bowls illegal over in AUS vs PAK 1st T20I

Pakistan National Cricket Team made a massive violation of the rules during the first T20I against Australia National Cricket Team. The match between the two teams is taking place at the Gabba in Brisbane on Thursday (14th November).

The first T20I between the Pakistan National Cricket Team and the Australia National Cricket Team was marred due to rain. The series opener between the teams was curtailed to 7-over a side due to rain. This also made a change in the rules of the game along with the rules for bowlers.

Pakistan National Cricket Team and the fast bowler Naseem Shah violated the rules

As per the revised playing conditions, two bowlers were allowed to bowl a maximum of two overs. But there was a clear violation of rules by the Pakistan National Cricket Team and the fast bowler Naseem Shah. Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf were the two bowlers who bowled two overs upfront.

The eyebrows were raised when Naseem Shah, who bowled 2nd over, came to bowl the last over of the innings. It was a clear mistake from the visitors, and even umpires made an error. Cricket Australia did mention only two bowlers were allowed to bowl a maximum of two overs each and the graphic was also shown on screen.

However, this caught the attention of many and made many question the tactics and ploys of Pakistan. Thankfully, this didn't cost the Australia National Cricket Team much, as Marcus Stoinis made full use of Naseem Shah's second over and ensured that his team ended with a big total.

Marcus Stoinis hit Naseem Shah for 20 runs in the last over.
