India defeated Pakistan once again in the recent match at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. The Men in Blue secured a six-wicket victory. However, the match was overshadowed by Fakhar Zaman’s controversial dismissal, with former Pakistan players claiming it should have been ruled not out.
The on-field umpire referred the decision to the TV umpire after Fakhar initially refused to walk. Sri Lankan third umpire Ruchira Palliyaguruge reviewed multiple angles and stated that Samson had his fingers under the ball while taking the catch. The third umpire ruled Fakhar out.
