Overview
- Slow-motion footage shows Khawaja Nafay holding the ball in his right hand while removing the bails with his left to dismiss Cooper Connolly in Lahore.
- ICC Clause 29.2.1 requires the ball to be in the same hand or arm used to break the wicket, meaning the stumping did not meet the condition.
- The on-field umpire ruled Connolly out without a referral in the 14th over off Mohammad Nawaz with Australia struggling at 82/6.
- No reversal of the decision or ICC statement has been reported, and Pakistan’s 111-run win to complete a 3–0 sweep remains in place.
- Broadcast clips of the dismissal spread widely online, intensifying scrutiny of officiating procedures ahead of T20 World Cup warm-ups.
