Nothing much is going right for Pakistan on their ongoing tour of Australia. After being whitewashed in the Test series, the visitors are trailing 2-1 in the five-match ODI series and their misery has been compounded by some sloppy fielding.
Azhar Ali’s men continued their poor show on the field in the ongoing fourth ODI too and in one such incident, fast-bowler Mohammad Amir lost his cool when Hasan Ali failed to prevent the Australian batsmen from taking two runs. The incident happened in the 45th over when Glenn Maxwell guided a Amir delivery straight to third-man region. The ball went just a few steps left of Hasan but he could not prevent Maxwell and Travis Head to take a double, inviting Amir’s wrath in the process. The left-arm pacer, who had already conceded 59 runs in 8.4 overs without taking a wicket, lost his cool and gave an earful to his teammate.
Here is the clip of that incident:

Overall, the Pakistani players dropped four catches which helped the hosts post a score of more than 300 for the first time in the series. David Warner scored 130 while Travis Head(51 off 36) and Maxwell (78 off 44) chipped in with quickfire fifties as Steven Smith’s men posted a mammoth 353.
