Sri Lanka A Win Super Over in Dambulla

A match‑referee inquiry into possible conduct breaches by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will follow scrutiny of umpiring decisions made as light faded

Overview

  • The Tri‑Nation A game in Dambulla finished level on 265 and was settled by a Super Over that Sri Lanka A won after India A managed nine chasing 17.
  • India A pressed umpires to continue for the Super Over even though visibility had deteriorated and broadcasters and officials reported poor light during the finish.
  • Sri Lanka A’s Super Over total included a wide and a no‑ball that deepened protests from the Indian camp and prolonged on‑field discussions.
  • Television footage shows 15‑year‑old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi entering heated exchanges after the result and making brief physical contact with Vishen Halambage, an action now open to review under Article 2.12 of the Code of Conduct by match referee Pradeep Jeyapragash.
  • India A must win their final group match to keep qualification hopes alive and the episode has raised questions about umpiring protocols in poor light and the pressure on young players stepping up from franchise cricket.
