Fakhar Zaman played an ODI knock for the ages as Pakistan ran the hosts close  losing by 17 runs  in the 2nd ODI vs South Africa in Johannesburg on Sunday. Zaman scored 193 runs off 155 balls before being run out in the last over

Zaman was run out in the 50th over getting done in by what looked like a piece of gamesmanship by Quinton de Kock
