Alzari Joseph faced the ball and scored a run by hitting a shot on the league side. When the fielder threw the ball towards the wicket, Babar Azam stopped the ball with the glue of the wicket-keeper. In the light of cricket rules, no fielder other than the wicket-keeper is allowed to wear gloves or a league guard and in doing so the other team is awarded penalty runs. By the time this happened, Pakistan‘s grip on the match was strong and West Indies had lost 7 wickets. West Indies were given 5 runs but still, the visiting team lost the match by 120 runs and Pakistan took a decisive two-nil lead in the three-match series.
