After the toss declared India the winner, the trophy was finally distributed. India's coach Shukla Dutt is very unhappy with the decision to make two teams champions in the U-19 girls' competition. Before leaving the team hotel today, he expressed his displeasure publicly.
He said, "They wanted to announce the winner by tossing. After winning the toss, they say to play a 90-minute match again. Is it possible? They are joint champions. Let it be done, but we are not happy about it.'
India not satisfied with trophy sharing
After the toss declared India the winner, the trophy was finally distributed. India's coach Shukla Dutt is very unhappy with the decision to make two teams champions in the U-19 girls' competition. Before leaving the team hotel today, he expressed his displeasure publicly.
He said, "They wanted to announce the winner by tossing. After winning the toss, they say to play a 90-minute match again. Is it possible? They are joint champions. Let it be done, but we are not happy about it.'
As the match was tied at 1-1 at the scheduled time, the final was decided by a tiebreaker according to the rules of the tournament. Sri Lanka's match commissioner Silva Jayasuriya decided to decide the title by tossing the bails of the Dillon tournament as there was no result in 22 shots of the two teams. India won the toss. But the Indian team's jubilation was interrupted by a new decision—the sudden death decision to restart the tiebreaker. India left the field objecting to that decision. In the end, both teams were declared champions.
The match commissioner made a mistake by not allowing the sudden death tiebreak to continue. Gautam Kar, a former referee consultant and match commissioner of Buff, said, "The match commissioner cannot interfere in anything during the match. If there are only safety issues and lighting problems, he can tell the referee that the match can be stopped for some time. The entire control of the match will be in the hands of the referee during the match. What the commissioner has done by calling him is completely unintended.
