Pakistan’s cricket team management has officially raised a complaint regarding the dismissal of opener Fakhar Zaman in the Asia Cup clash against India. The decision has become one of the most talked-about moments of the match, with many questioning whether the third umpire made the right call.
According to Pakistan’s officials, the television umpire did not check all available camera angles before ruling Fakhar out. They believe that a closer review could have shown the ball making contact with the ground before the Indian wicketkeeper completed the catch.
Team representatives stressed that in such situations, where there is doubt about the fairness of the dismissal, the batter should always be given the benefit of the doubt. They also highlighted that international cricket rules support this principle to ensure fair play.
Fakhar had made a quick start before losing his wicket and his dismissal came at a crucial stage of Pakistan’s innings. The decision not only affected Pakistan’s momentum but also became a source of frustration for players and fans alike.
The complaint has been formally submitted to the match referee and Pakistan’s management is awaiting an official response.
Cricket analysts have also weighed in with some supporting the umpire’s decision while others agree that the evidence was not conclusive enough to give Fakhar out.
The incident has now sparked debate across the cricketing world about the use of technology and whether the decision-making process needs to be reviewed for more accuracy in high-stakes games.
