The controversial moment unfolded during the second-last ball of the final ODI at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. The Men in Green were chasing a challenging target and needed 12 runs from two balls to clinch the series.
Pakistan question umpire Kumar Dharmasena’s DRS decision
At that point, Pakistan received an extra run and still had two balls remaining, keeping their hopes alive in the dramatic chase. But within seconds, the Bangladesh players gathered together and decided to ask for an LBW review, which left everyone stunned.
Pakistan believes that this replay might have helped the Bangladesh players notice a possible edge from the bat. They also raised another concern, and that was about the 15-second time limit for taking a review. Since the broadcast did not show any timer, the touring side felt that Bangladesh didn’t take the review within the allowed time.
When the DRS system checked the delivery, the Hawk-Eye revealed a small spike as the ball passed the bottom edge of Afridi’s bat. That slight contact meant the ball could not be counted as a wide anymore. Even though Bangladesh eventually lost the review itself, the wide call was reversed.

On the final delivery, Afridi tried to swing hard but failed to connect properly. The wicketkeeper did his job, and Bangladesh won the match by 11 runs to secure a 2-1 ODI series win at home. Afridi’s frustration was clear over the dramatic finish.
Soon after the game, Pakistan management decided to officially raise the issue with match referee Neeyamur Rashid. Interestingly, this was not the only tense moment in the series. Salman Agha was involved in a heated incident after a run-out while trying to hand the ball back to Mehidy Hasan Miraz in the second ODI.
