The News & Details

In ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, on Friday, October 27, 2023, during Pakistan’s match versus South Africa in Chennai, there appeared to have been a major DRS dispute. Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, shared his thoughts on the “umpire’s call” rule on the contentious leg before-wicket decisions of Rassie van der Dussen and Tabraiz Shamsi in their one-wicket loss in Chennai. Babar embraced both calls in a sporty manner despite their heartbreaking defeat to South Africa, which put them in danger of losing the World Cup.

It is a component of the game. As the umpire makes this call, I believe it to be just part of the game. When questioned about the DRS call on Shamsi, Babar stated, “Had he handed it out, it would have benefitted us,” during the post-match presentation. Babar appeared depleted by the missed chance, with Pakistan virtually out of the competition.

What Exactly happened in the Pakistan vs South Africa Cricket World Cup Game?

With one wicket remaining, the Proteas needed eight runs. Rauf bowled a well-reversed delivery as the ball slid onto the pads in the 46th over, his only remaining delivery. The umpire did not budge in response to the Pakistani players’ request. Upstairs, Babar sent it.

The umpire made the ruling that the ball would have kissed the top of the stumps, based on the replays. Shamsi was spared because of the on-field ruling. Additionally, Proteas won by a single wicket thanks to a boundary struck by Maharaj off of Muhammad Nawaz.

Reaction from Harbhajan Singh

After several controversies rocked Pakistan’s World Cup 2023 match against South Africa on Friday, former India spinner Harbhajan Singh lost it. The contentious calls made using the technology were received by both South Africa and Pakistan. The umpire’s call saved colleague Tabraiz Shamsi from being dismissed similar to how South Africa batsman Rassie van der Dussen, was declared leg before wicket because of a DRS error. In addition to requesting greater uniformity in these determinations, Harbhajan suggested that the officials adhere to the umpire’s call or entirely depend on technology. Reacting to a previous clip of the former captain of England, Nasser Hussain, supporting technology, Harbhajan asked the Indian Cricket Council (ICC) to not mislead fans of the game.
