Pakistan Complaint Sparks Umpiring Debate After Bangladesh ODI Pakistan Complaint has become the biggest talking point after the dramatic ODI series decider between Bangladesh and Pakistan in Dhaka. 

The Pakistan Complaint was officially lodged following a controversial umpiring decision during the final moments of the match at the Shere Bangla National Stadium.

Bangladesh had set Pakistan a challenging target of 291 runs in the decisive match. Despite a brilliant century from Salman Ali Agha, Pakistan fell short by 11 runs, leading to the Pakistan Complaint over the umpiring call that influenced the final over.

The Pakistan Complaint centers around a disputed review decision involving Sri Lankan umpire Kumar Dharmasena. According to the Pakistan Complaint, Bangladesh were allowed to review a wide call during the penultimate delivery of the final over.

Initially, the ball bowled by Rishad Hossain to Shaheen Afridi was ruled wide. However, Bangladesh opted for a review after consulting wicketkeeper Litton Das. The Pakistan Complaint argues that the review may have been taken after the stadium replay was shown on the big screen.

Team management stated in the Pakistan Complaint that standard DRS protocol may not have been followed. Normally, a team must take a review before any replay appears on the stadium screen.

The Pakistan Complaint also questions whether Bangladesh exceeded the 15-second time limit allowed to signal a review. Broadcast footage did not show a visible timer, leaving uncertainty around whether the review was taken within the permitted window.

The tense finish of the match ultimately triggered the Pakistan Complaint. Pakistan required 14 runs in the final over bowled by Rishad Hossain, creating a dramatic end to the contest.

Salman Ali Agha delivered a superb innings of 106 off 98 balls, keeping Pakistan in the chase until the final moments. However, Bangladesh managed to defend their total successfully and sealed the series victory, while the Pakistan Complaint continues to spark debate around DRS protocols and umpiring decisions.
