Overview

• Third umpire Ruchira Palliyaguruge ruled Fakhar Zaman out caught after a referral, upholding Sanju Samson’s low take off Hardik Pandya on the third ball of the third over.
• On-field umpires sent the decision upstairs, and multiple replays were reviewed before the out call was confirmed.
• Replays yielded conflicting impressions, with some views appearing inconclusive and others seeming to show a clean catch.
• Wasim Akram said the umpire should have checked more angles and argued that without conclusive evidence the benefit of doubt should go to the batter.
• Pakistan captain Agha Salman later said umpires can make mistakes and added that, to him, the ball bounced before the keeper collected it.
