"I feel, the way Fakhar Zaman affected that run-out, even Jonty Rhodes has never pulled off anything like this," Sarfraz said.

The second T20I match also witnessed a controversial run out that left the Australian players fuming.

After the match, Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell took pot shots at the third umpire for giving the decision in favour of Pakistan.

"Maybe the third umpire pressed the wrong button. We've all made mistakes," Maxwell said.
