The drama unfolded during the Super Over when Dasun Shanaka was given out caught, and then a run-out was attempted. The review showed no contact between the ball and bat, overturning the caught-out decision. Consequently, the run-out was also deemed invalid, as the umpire had already signaled the batsman out. The ICC rule stating that a ball is considered dead after an umpire’s initial decision, regardless of subsequent reviews, saved Shanaka from returning to the pavilion. The incident highlights the intricacies of cricket rules.
