Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan became a victim of a controversial decision by the third umpire in the ongoing Pakistan versus Bangladesh game at the Adelaide Oval.
The incident set social media on fire, with experts and fans coming out in support of the Bangladesh skipper, stating Shakib was a sufferer in the LBW dismissal.
It all happened during the 11th over of Bangladesh innings bowled by all-rounder Shadab Khan. The Pakistan star had already dismissed Soumya Sarkar and trapped Shakib in front with a flighted delivery.
Shakib was adjudged LBW by the on-field umpire and instantly went upstairs. The replays showed a clear spike on the ball when it passed the bat before hitting the pads. However, the third umpire felt there was no conclusive evidence to overturn the decision and went with the on-field umpire. Shakib was visibly shocked by the decision and stood his ground, expressing his disappointment. But he had no option left and so walked back to the dugout on golden duck.
Notably, the loss of South Africa against the Netherlands confirmed India’s semi-final birth and opened the doors for both Bangladesh and Pakistan to contest for a place in the semis.
Meanwhile, most viewers were left baffled by the seemingly substandard umpiring as they expressed shock and disbelief over Shakib’s dismissal.
Here is how netizens reacted:
Shakib’s bat didn’t touch the ground at all. Just focus on bat’s shadow. There was a spike. It couldn’t have been anything else except the ball hitting the bat. Bangladesh at the receiving end of a poor umpiring decision. #PakvBan #T20WorldCup

Well Bangladesh have every right to feel aggrieved by that decision. One of the worst I’ve ever seen. #T20worldcup22

How can that be given out?!
Not surprised that Shakib is upset.— Vikram Chandra (@vikramchandra) November 6, 2022
That Shakib LBW decision was an absolute shocker. The bat was in the air when ultra edge showed a spike. Bangladesh fans can't believe it.

Very strange dismissal. Costs Bangladesh a review & Shakib Al Hasan's wicket. Wonder what the umpire saw. He ruled that there was an edge, the magnifier did show that there was gap between the bat and the ground. Or at least i saw it that way even if the ump didn't. #T20WorldCup

Looked like a clear gap between bottom of the bat and the pitch at the time of RTS spike. Tough call for Bangladesh #T20WorldCup

Umpires are clearly on Pakistan's side today. Athar Ali Khan on commentary is absolutely furious.
There was a clear inside-edge. Shakib and Bangladesh are in complete disbelief.#T20WorldCup #T20worldcup22

I thought there was an edge from Shakib, he is unlucky.

Umpire didn't give this catch out despite ball clearly hitting the bat. Shakib Al Hasan survived due to BCCI. pic.twitter.com/lwlttMg6O8
