Huge drama is going! Pathum Nissanka denied Clear 6 by the referee after the blunder of Axar Patel in Asia Cup
Varun Chakravarthy delivered a bullet after the referee reported a dead ball. Pathum Nissanka broke it directly in the hands of Axar Patel, but the versatile lobe on the rope for a six. However, the ball was deemed illegal when the referee canceled the delivery.
The India vs Sri Lanka match saw the Indians breaking the first total of 200+ in this Asian Cup, Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma breaking superb successes in their respective sleeves. The match, however, could not affect the results anyway because they reached the finals of the Asia 2025 Cup.
The referee excluded the six of Pathum Nissanka with a dead call
Cutting the target of 203 points from India, the Lankan strikers took an excellent start of the sleeves after the early rejection of the Kusal Mendis opener. However, Pathum Nissanka had probably chosen this match to present his immense talent in the Super-4 match of the Asian Cup.
Your daily cricket dose!
In the 10th above the prosecution, when Varun Chakravarthy kicked the Pathum Nissanka, the referee announced the second ball of the dead ball halfway to the launcher’s rise. However, Chakrarvarthy delivered the ball, and Nissanka also hit it directly in the hands of Axar Patel.
Axar, however, mis evaluated the catch and launched it on the fence. Just when he looked frustrated, the referee excluded the six, saying that it was a deadly pre-declared bullet. The referee called this a dead ball because he was waiting for Abhishek Sharma to leave the field.
Chaos on the ground! 😳
Varun delivers after UMP’s signals signal the dead ball, Nissanka breaking it – and Axar Palme a simple plug for six! 🫣
