Sri Lanka And Bangladesh Clash Again, Umpire Call Sparks Fiery Debate! Remember the heated exchanges between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in the last World Cup? Well, guess what? Drama followed them into the T20 series too! This time, it all went down when Bangladesh batsman Soumya Sarkar was given out by the field umpire, only for the third umpire to overturn the call on review.
Here’s Where Things Got Interesting:–
- Close call: The technology wasn’t clear enough to confirm a definitive contact between the ball and the bat.
- Sri Lanka fuming: The Lankan players, especially captain Dasun Shanaka and coach Chris Silverwood, weren’t happy and went straight to the umpires to express their disagreement.
- Coach Nawaz speaks up: Sri Lanka’s assistant coach, Naveed Nawaz, stated, “The on-field umpire called him out, and I’m sure the TV umpire must have had conclusive evidence to overturn that decision.”
