SL Infuriated After Third Umpire Overturns Soumya Sarkar Dismissal

The Sri Lankan: In the second T20I of the series between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, third umpire Masudur Rahman controversially overturned an on-field decision, which infuriated the visitors before the hosts won the match by 8 wickets to level the series 1-1.

In the fourth over of Bangladesh's innings, opener Soumya Sarkar found himself at the center of a contentious decision. A delivery from Sri Lankan left-arm seamer Binura Fernando seemed to catch an edge off Soumya's bat, and the on-field umpire Sharfuddoula raised his finger, signaling the dismissal.

However, Soumya was quick to review the decision, convinced that he hadn't made contact with the ball. As the third umpire, Masudur Rahman, scrutinized the replay, tension mounted in the stadium. The big screen revealed a spike on Ultra-edge at the precise moment the ball passed the bat, leaving room for interpretation.
