Star Pakistan batter Fakhar Zaman was seen arguing with the on-field umpires during their T20I tri-series final against Sri Lanka, after a diving catch taken by him was deemed to be not out in the game in Rawalpindi. <\/p>\n

The incident happened in the penultimate over of Sri Lanka\u2019s innings, with <\/span>Shaheen<\/span> Afridi bowling to <\/span>Dasun<\/span> Shanaka<\/span>. The former delivered a slower ball on the stumps, and <\/span>Shanaka\u2019s<\/span> flick produced a leading edge toward short third man. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fakhar, positioned inside the circle, sprinted back and timed a perfect dive to complete what seemed like a clean two-handed catch.<\/span><\/p>\n

On-field umpires Ahsan Raza and Asif Yaqoob judged it out but referred to the third umpire to see if the ball had touched the ground. Replays showed Fakhar\u2019s wrists brushing the turf, though the ball seemed secure in his palms. <\/span><\/p>\n

The front-on angle, however, confirmed Fakhar had grounded the ball while completing the dive, leading third umpire Rashid Riaz to rule <\/span>Shanaka<\/span> not out. Fakhar was frustrated, with teammates shocked, as he argued he had full control of the catch throughout.<\/span><\/p>\n

The controversy was short-lived. On the very next delivery, <\/span>Shaheen<\/span> bowled another clever slower ball and <\/span>Shanaka<\/span> swung, missing it as the ball crashed into his leg stump. <\/span>Shaheen<\/span> erupted in celebration, roaring and glancing toward the third umpire\u2019s box in a pointed gesture, as if to say this dismissal needed no confirmation. Emotions ran high, with some abusive language exchanged.<\/span><\/p>\n

Still emotional, Fakhar gestured toward the TV umpire, while <\/span>Shaheen<\/span> raised his arms in triumph. <\/span>Shanaka<\/span> walked back after scoring just two runs off seven deliveries and Pakistan seized the momentum after the disputed catch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
