Sri Lanka will complain against the umpire
Bangladesh returned to parity in the series by defeating Sri Lanka by 8 wickets in the second T20I. After returning to parity, the hosts are eyeing to win the series. On the other hand, Sri Lanka is angry that Soumya Sarkar was not given out. It is said that Sri Lanka will file a complaint against the Bangladesh umpire. This is what Naveed Nawaz said to the question asked in Sinhalese by Danushka Arvind, the only Sri Lankan journalist who came to cover the T20 series. They will complain to the ICC match referee Andy Pycroft who is in charge of this series.
Sri Lankan assistant coach Nawaz said in the press conference after the match about Soumya's dismissal, "The field umpire gave the dismissal." I know that a TV umpire would need irrefutable evidence to overrule the on-field umpire's decision. It was a clear spike. We have all seen it on the big screen. We will take the matter to the match referee as to what actually happened here. It is not possible to say anything with the footage we have.
Nawaz said that if Soumya was out at that time, the course of the match would have changed. The assistant coach of the Lankans said, "It was the first wicket. If we got the wicket we could have made a good start. Any wicket is important on such a track.
The incident happened on the first ball of the fourth over of Bangladesh's batting. Soumya pulled the first ball inside the fourth over bowled by Binura Fernando. The ball passed under the bat and fell into the hands of wicketkeeper Kushal Mendis. Immediately responding to the request of the Lankans, the umpire Gazi Sohail gave out.
Later Soumya took the review. Even if the spike was seen in the review, the question was whether it was the ball with the bat or not. TV umpire Masudur Rahman gave Mukul not out. Basically the spike is seen but the gap (gap) between the bat and the ball is also seen. The word came after the ball crossed the bat, reasoning that maybe the TV umpire changed the decision. Seeing Spike on the big screen, Soumya also took off her gloves and walked towards the dressing room. Although the umpire's decision changed, he returned to the wicket again.
The Lankan cricketers got a bit excited after seeing the TV umpire's not out signal. Angelo Mathews, Mendis, Dasun Shanakad seemed to be very disappointed with the umpire's decision. Add arguments. Sri Lankan coach Chris Silverwood came out of the dressing room and approached reserve umpire Tanveer Ahmed.
