Big Debate Over Cooper Connolly’s Out in Pakistan vs Australia Match
Published 14 days ago | By Pak24tv
A new controversy has started over Cooper Connolly’s stumping out during the third T20 match between Pakistan and Australia.
At that time, Australia was in a difficult position. They needed 126 runs in just 38 balls with only 4 wickets left. Cooper Connolly tried to hit a big shot against Mohammad Nawaz, but he missed the ball. The wicketkeeper, Khawaja Nafay, caught the ball and quickly broke the stumps.
The umpires and the players thought it was a clean out, but later, people noticed a big mistake. According to ICC rules, a stumping is only legal if the bails are removed by the same hand that is holding the ball. In this case, Khawaja Nafay hit the stumps with his left hand, while the ball was in his right hand.
Because of this mistake, a big debate has started on social media. Many fans are saying the out was wrong and the umpires should have checked it more carefully.
