SaralnamaDasun Shanaka avoided a run out during the Super Over of the India vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup match on at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Shanaka was initially given out caught behind by the umpire. He reviewed the decision, which showed no edge. The run out that occurred after the caught-behind call wasn't considered valid. This is because once a batter is given out, the ball becomes dead, making later events irrelevant. Rule 20.1.1.3 states the ball is dead from the moment of dismissal. Sri Lanka scored only 2 runs in the Super Over. India won by chasing it down in one ball. The final will be played on Sunday against Pakistan. (Updated 27 Sep 2025, 02:04 IST; source: link)
