With the Netherlands’ win over South Africa in their final group game, the match between Pakistan and Bangladesh became the virtual quarter final. The Pakistani bowlers did not allow Bangladesh to free their arms and were able to get rid of the dangerous Shakib Al Hasan on duck. Shakib was dismissed via LBW on the first ball he faced but his wicket was engulfed in the controversy caused by the third umpire.
Shadab Khan was bowling 11th over of the innings and Shakib entered the crease on the fifth ball. The batter danced down the track to start with an aggressive shot but missed the line of the ball as tossed-up delivery from Shadab dipped on him. The ball hit his boot and the fielding team appealed in unison for the wicket. Umpire took a little time to raise his finger but ruled the batter LBW eventually.
Shakib went for the review straightaway claiming he had edged the ball. The third umpire checked the slow motion replay on Ultra Edge and it showed a clear spike as the ball passed near the ball. Many thought that it is an indicator of a clear edge but the TV umpire claimed that the spike occurred before the ball reached the bat. Considering that the batter has not edged the ball, the TV umpire checked ball tracking and stayed with the decision given by the umpire on the field.
The controversial decision caused a lot of reaction and the fans claimed 'cheating' for Shakib Al Hasan’s dismissal on Twitter.
