The play surfaced in the 10th over of the match, when they were hovering for the target of 169 set by Multan Sultans.
Off-spinner Ifatikhar Ahmed bowled one fast in the blockhole and Munro somehow dug it. Just after the delivery, Munro indicated to the Ifatikhar that he was chucking. Munro also tilted his elbow while copying the action.
