India vs Pakistan: India defeated Pakistan by 6 wickets in the Super-4 match of Asia Cup 2025. Pakistan had made a lot of reshuffle in the team for this match. And, the biggest change was seen in his opening pair. Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman opened for Pakistan in this match. When the beginning was fast, it seemed that this bet of Pakistan went on. But, in the third over, Fakhar Jaman was caught behind Hardik Pandya’s ball and Pakistan got the first blow. Pakistan captain Salman Aga broke his silence after the match after Fakhar Zaman was dismissed.
Salman Aga was seen raising questions on the decision of the umpire
After losing the Super-4 match with India, when Salman came to the Aga press conference, he had a question about Fakhar Zaman’s wicket, while answering, the Pakistan captain questioned the umpire’s decision. Before what the Pakistan captain said, know what happened on the field? How did Fakhar Jaman get out?
What happened to Fakhar Zaman?
Pakistan’s inning was the third over. The third ball of this over of Hardik Pandya took the edge of Fakhar Zaman’s bat directly behind the wicket, which was caught by Sanju Samson. Samson made a strong appeal as soon as the ball was captured in gloves. Now the field umpire enlisted the help of the third umpire to check whether the catch was legal or not. The third umpire saw the footage from every angle and called Fakhar Zaman out. Pakistani batsmen were shocked and unhappy with the decision of the third umpire.
Out of Fakhar Zaman, umpire’s mistake!
Fakhar Zaman was seen in good touch. In such a situation, his dismissal was a big shock for Pakistan at that time. After the match, there was a question with Salman Aga about the same, to which he said that the ball for me was bounced and went into the hands of the wicketkeeper. He said that the umpire could make a mistake.
This chronic disease of Pak team
This is the second time in the Asia Cup 2025 when Pakistan’s team is seen crying in this way. The Pakistani team, which questioned the third umpire’s decision in the Super-4 match, demanded the removal of the match referee after the defeat on the group stage. It is clear that this is a chronic disease of Pakistan. As far as Fakhar Zaman was out, he was clear out because the ball was not bounced but a directly in the hands of wicketkeeper Sanju Samson.
