The veteran Pakistan batter was late in putting the bat inside the crease even as Malik would've easily reached the safe zone in time.

Malik arrived to bat at a time when Pakistan were in desperate need of a partnership in the 128-run chase, having lost three wickets on merely 23.
With an attempt to get a single towards third-man, Malik placed a length ball with a soft shot but couldn't get his timing, with the ball finding a bottom edge and bouncing back to the wicketkeeper.
Seemingly unaware that he was outside the crease, Malik shadow-played putting the bat in the third man's direction. Nurul Hasan, the wicketkeeper, seized the opportunity and aimed a direct hit to run Malik out.
Chairman PCB Ramiz Raja said, "Pak vs Ban was a tough pitch to chase, and Pakistan’s batting got tested today. Lot easier to see off tough moments when you have wins behind you. Confidence is a great friend to have but it befriends you only if you are winning! Good job Pakistan."
