‘Kya cheating hai bhai’ – Fans react as India’s Sai Sudarshan was given out by third umpire against Pakistan in Emerging Asia Cup 2023 final

Sai Sudarshan was dismissed by Pakistan bowler Arshad Iqbal in the ninth over of the second innings. Pakistan while batting first, the openers Saim Ayub and Sahibzada Farhan put up 121 runs. The team, however, experienced a small collapse after collapsing to 187/5. India appeared to be on the verge of a comeback with the ball at this point.

However, the sixth wicket produced 126 runs thanks to individual performances from Tayyab Tahir and Mubasir Khan. As a result of this, the team was able to overcome its mid-inning crisis and finish the innings with a 352/8 score. Khan scored 35 runs off 47 balls, while the former scored 108 runs off just 71 balls. Riyan Parag and Rajvardhan Hangargekar both grabbed two wickets each.

Abhishek Sharma and Sai Sudarshan provide a solid start to India A

Former Emerging Asia Cup winners entered the game in an attempt to take down a challenging target. Sai Sudharsan and Abhishek Sharma, who scored 64 runs in 8.3 overs, were important contributors to the start. Arshad Iqbal bowled a bouncer in the ninth over, and Sudharsan was caught by captain Mohammad Haris behind the stumps.

The umpires wanted to look at the no-ball, so they requested the left-hander to remain on the ground. Even though the replays were unclear, it was still obvious that the bowler had overstepped. The Tamil Nadu player was given out despite this. Nevertheless, the Tamil Nadu player was given out. With this decision, fans are not happy. India will undoubtedly lose the game now as they don’t have a proper batter on the crease.

Pakistan A defeated India A by 128 runs in the final.  The pick of the bowler for Pakistan A was Sufiyan Muqeem who snapped three wickets in his spell of 10 overs where he conceded 66 runs in his spell. Two wickets were grabbed by Arshad Iqbal, Mehran Mumtaz, and Mohammad Wasim Jr. in their respective spells. One wicket was bagged by Mubasir Khan who bowled six overs in his spell and conceded 38 runs in his spell.
