The law of 28.1 Protective Equipment says, “No fielder other than the wicket-keeper shall be permitted to wear gloves or external leg guards. In addition, protection for the hand or fingers may be worn only with the consent of the umpires.”

Pakistan won the 2nd ODI by 120 runs. The last and final ODI match of the series will be played on the 12th of June, 2022.
