The second ODI between Pakistan and West Indies might have ended in Pakistan's favor but it witnessed an enthralling moment when captain fantastic was found guilty of wearing a wicket-keeping glove while fielding.
Babar's actions cost Pakistan five penalty runs as the incident occurred in the 29th over when Mohammad Nawaz was bowling to Alzarri Joseph. Babar stopped the ball while wearing a single wicket-keeping glove.
The cricketing law states: "No fielder other than the wicket-keeper shall be permitted to wear gloves or external leg guards. Further, the law mentions that if a fielder illegally fields the ball, umpires shall award five runs to the batting side."
The runs were immediately awarded for the batting side as Babar received the penalty with an apologetic grin on his face.
Despite the hiccup, Pakistan enjoyed a terrific day as they stunned the visitors with a 120-run victory which included another solid performance from Pakistan's captain.
Pakistan have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.
