Overall, Bhajji appeared angry at the umpiring. After all, what happened in this match? Let us tell you.
Bad umpiring in Pakistan vs South Africa World Cup 2023 Match: Pakistan cricket team lost four consecutive matches for the first time in World Cup history. In a thriller match on October 27 in Chennai, South Africa defeated Pakistan by 1 wicket. After the defeat in this match, Babar Azam and Company's chances of reaching the semi-finals are very low. Now he will have to depend on other teams.
In this important match, controversy regarding DRS also came to the fore. Actually, Babar Brigade could have won the match in the 46th over. In this over, a ball from Haris Rauf hit the pad of Tabrez Shamsi. After this, Pakistan appealed for out but the umpire did not raise his finger. After this, the Pakistani team decided to take DRS. Ball tracking revealed that the ball's impact was in the line of the wicket. There is an uproar when a wide ball is given.
The ball was hitting the leg stump, but Shamsi was saved due to the umpire's call. After this, Haris sat in the middle of the field holding his head. Now there is an uproar regarding this rule. Harbhajan Singh has raised questions regarding this through several tweets;
Pakistani captain Babar Azam also reacted in this regard. Babar was asked whether his team had to bear the brunt of the DRS call. On this, he refused to blame technology. Babar said after the match, “DRS can go in your favor as well as in the opposition, it is an integral part of the game, some decisions went in our favor while some went against us.
Babar said, "We will try to play the remaining matches of the World Cup well and see where we reach in the end." Pakistan was out for 270 runs in 46.4 overs. Tabrez took 4 wickets for South Africa.
Why did Babar Azam get angry at Pakistan batsmen?
Babar blamed his batsmen for being 20 runs behind in the win at the Chepauk ground in Chennai. Babar said, "We fought well but we fell behind by 10-15 runs. I think the way the fast bowlers bowled, they performed well but unfortunately, the result was not in our favor."
Harbhajan Singh also got angry with DRS's decision and supported Pakistan
Former Indian cricketer and currently doing cricket commentary of the World Cup, Harbhajan Singh also expressed anger over 'bad umpiring'. Made many tweets one after the other.
Tagging ICC, Bhajji wrote - Pakistan had to lose this match due to bad umpiring and bad rules. This rule should be changed, if the ball hits the stump then it is out, it does not matter whether the umpire gave out or not, otherwise, what is the use of technology?
During this period, Harbhajan Singh also had a heated argument with former South African captain Graeme Smith on social media. Harbhajan Singh was not ready to accept the decision given by the umpire.
Bhajji wrote in another tweet - It doesn't matter who won or lost today, it doesn't matter to me who is playing or not, but the rules are not right....tomorrow it will be with us. What can happen to (India)... if we lose the final due to their (umpire's) mistake? What will happen then? However, on the manner in which Bhajji gave out Rassie van der Dussen, Harbhajan also told Smith that according to him he was not out.
Pathan also got angry about umpiring
At the same time, Irfan Pathan also raised questions on two decisions in the match between South Africa and South Africa. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter). that 2 things went against team Pakistan, wide, and LBW, it seems that South Africa has had some luck in this World Cup due to the solving game.
