The crucial ODI World Cup 2023 match between Australia and Pakistan is now taking place at Bengaluru’s Chinnaswamy stadium.
During the game, a stunning incident that was completely unforeseen occurred. Fans and cricket experts alike anticipate that the match will be completed successfully with all backup plans in place should an issue emerge because it is being held as a large-scale global event. In a similar vein, neither team was able to use the Decision Review System (DRS) technology during the 16th over of the current ODI World Cup match because it was not functioning.
Speaking of the current game, the Australian batting lineup scored a whopping 367/9 thanks to brilliant hundreds from openers David Warner and Mitchell Marsh. In response, the Men in Green got off to a cautious start with to strong starts from Imam Ul Haq and Abdullah Shafique. The umpire abruptly approached the Australian and Pakistani players as they were batting, however, and told them that they would not be able to employ the DRS technology at any key time at the Chinnaswamy stadium. As a result, the players will have to trust and respect the umpire’s judgment.
Why did DRS Technology not work during the ODI World Cup 2023 match between Pakistan and Australia?
Simon Doull, a well-known commentator and former New Zealand bowler, claimed the DRS was out for a while during the current ODI World Cup 2023 match. The umpire informed the players that the disruption occurred as a result of a brief power outage in the Chinnaswamy stadium while the system was down.
To everyone’s relief, the issue was quickly fixed and the DRS was made available for use in the 19th over of the ongoing ODI World Cup match just after two overs of gaming. Regarding technology, there has been much discussion about fair use and hitters receiving judgments that are not in their favor even when the ball is somewhat splashing down the leg side.
Intriguingly, Australia’s prolific opener David Warner appeared to be dissatisfied with the way he was dismissed in the final ODI World Cup match. Although the batter thinks the ball was headed down the leg side, the umpire did not grant him the “benefit of the doubt.” He was therefore removed against Sri Lanka for a lowly 11 runs. But despite this, Australia defeated the Lankan Lions convincingly by five wickets to return to the winning column in the ongoing mega-event.
