The ongoing second Test between Afghanistan and Zimbabwe witnessed a bizarre incident on day three when the former were penalised one run after a bizarre incident. Afghanistan fielder Hashmatullah Shahidi tried an unusual ploy to try and keep Raza off strike. He picked the ball and deliberately put one of his feet outside the boundary ropes. A boundary would have meant Muzarabani taking the strike on the first ball of the next over.
