Does anyone remember/know about this match?? Bishen Bedi conceded the match in protest against the short pitched bowling tactics of Pakistan. Sarfraz Nawaz’s last 4 deliveries were all out of reach of the batsmen, and not called wide by the umpire???

I am told Bishen Singh Bedi asked his batsmen to walk off the field at the stroke of 12 o'clock.
