Lahore:Islamabad United captain Shadab Khan blamed DRS technology for the defeat in the ninth edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL) yesterday.Quetta Gladiators and Islamabad United were facing each other at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore yesterday.Batting first, Islamabad United scored 138 runs and gave the rival team a target of 139, which Quetta Gladiators achieved with great difficulty at the loss of 7 wickets in 18.2 overs.
However, at the end of the match, when United’s captain Shadab Khan was asked why he lost the match, where was the mistake, he blamed DRS technology for the defeat.Expressing reservations on DRS technology, he said, “I think we have lost due to technological failure.” Another ball was shown in the review. That was the game-changing moment of the match, I think these things should be right, such mistakes should not happen in such a big tournament.He insisted on showing the second ball in the review, adding that I bowled 4 overs as a leg spinner, then the ball was not spinning as much. In the review, Agha first hit Salman’s ball outside the off-stump and then spun it. I think such mistakes should not happen in such a big tournament.
It should be noted that on the last ball of the 11th over of the innings of Quetta Gladiators, captain Riley Russo was given out lbw by the on-field umpire Aleem Dar in an unsuccessful attempt to play a sweep shot on the ball of United’s bowler Agha Salman. However, in the review He was declared not out.On behalf of Quetta Gladiators, Riley Russo, the captain, was declared the player of the match by scoring 34 runs, while Jason Roy scored 37 runs and Sharfin Rutherford scored 29 runs to defeat Islamabad United by 3 wickets.
