This incident took place in the second innings of the 15th over of the game during the time of Peshawar Zalmi’s batting. Mohammad Rizwan took a low catch of Rovman Powell while keeping the wickets in Muzarabani’s delivery. Umpire Aleem Dar was unsure about whether the catch is taken or not and gave a soft signal of out and he went upstairs towards the third umpire to make a confirmation about the catch taken by Rizwan.
The third umpire checked the catch properly from every angle and agreed with the soft signal decision taken by the on-field umpire’s Aleem Dar and told him to stay with his original decision of out.
Meanwhile, this is where things got funny and awkward as due to some technical gitch, Aleem Dar was unable to hear the Third umpire’s verdict and he decided to stick with his gut feeling and gave the decision of out. Fortunately, the TV-umpire’s decision matched with the on-field umpire decision which was out, otherwise, things could have been a little controversial. Overall it easy a very hilarious moment to watch out for.
