What happened in the over?
Looking at the over of Australia pacer John Hastings he started the over with five wide balls and interestingly all were bowled outside the off-stump to right-handed batter Sohaib Maqsood. Then after a single Sharjeel Khan took the strike and smashed a boundary followed by a no-ball and yet another wide and this time the wide was outside the leg stump. The extras kept piling up.
Did John Hastings try different angles?
When John Hastings was struggling with his line he switched to round the wicket but ended up bowling three more wides. Sharjeel was just watching the ball out of his reach.

This over was never even completed as the Pakistan Champions won the match before the overs end.
