Sri Lanka fielders experienced a shock as a caught-behind decision was overturned despite an UltraEdge spike
Binura Fernando believed he had the first break through in Bangladesh's chase, but Soumya Sarkar missed a back of a length ball, allowing the ball to pass to the keeper. Umpire Gazi Sohail raised his finger, but Sarkar signaled for a review. Replays showed the ball passing close to the bat, with a deviation towards the leg side.
Ultra Edge showed a spike as the ball passed the bat, but the position of the spike made it appear the ball had already passed the bat. TV umpire Masudur Rahman confirmed that there was no bat involved.
Sri Lanka's head coach, Chris Silverwood, expressed dissatisfaction with the decision to suspend captain Wanindu Hasaranga for the first two T20Is of the series against Bangladesh.
The decision was a result of a heated interaction with the umpires during Sri Lanka's previous series against Afghanistan. The hosts, who had set Bangladesh 166 to chase in the first innings, reached 83-2 at the end of the ninth over of their chase.
