Explanation
Mankading is the dismissal of a non-striker who leaves the crease before the ball is delivered, named after Vinoo Mankad. In the 1987 World Cup, West Indies' Courtney Walsh famously warned Saleem Jaffar instead of Mankading him, exemplifying the 'spirit of cricket' over strict rule enforcement. Pakistan won by 1 wicket, and West Indies were eliminated from the tournament.
