<p>While India A had remained unbeaten up until the final in the ACC Men's Emerging Teams Asia Cup, in the summit clash against Pakistan A at the R Premadasa Stadium on Sunday, they were comprehensively beaten by 128 runs. While India A captain Yash Dhull had won the toss, he had elected to bowl first, a ploy which did not work out the way he wanted on a fresh wicket being used at the venue. As a result India ended up conceding 352/8.</p> <p>In response, India A had got off to a splendid star and for a brief while it looked like they were in track of the run-chase and the match could well go down to the wire. However as soon as Pakistan A got a wicket, things gradually started to go downhill for the chasing side before they eventually collapsed and got bowled out for 224 in their 40 overs to hand Pakistan A their second successive ACC Men's Emerging Asia Cup title.<br /><br /><strong>Also on ABP LIVE | <span style="color: #e03e2d;"><a style="color: #e03e2d;" title="Emerging Asia Cup Final: Tayyab Tahir's Stunning Show Sets Up Pakistan A's Dominant 128-Run Win Over India A; Men In Green Clinch Title" href="https://ift.tt/zKlPRas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emerging Asia Cup Final: Tayyab Tahir's Stunning Show Sets Up Pakistan A's Dominant 128-Run Win Over India A; Men In Green Clinch Title</a><br /></span></strong><br />One particular incident though has raised eyebrows and it was where it all started for Pakistan A in the second innings. While the India A openers had helped the team off to a good start and they were at one stage 64/0 in the 9th over, Sudharsan was tested with a short-pitch ball by Arshad Iqbal and the batter perished for 29. However, the southpaw was made to wait as he stared walking back to the pavilion as the on-field umpires wanted to check a possible no-ball.<br /><br />While replays showed that it was a close-call, the Hindi commentators on air reckoned that it could be a no-ball. However, the third umpire felt otherwise and handed the decision in favour of the Pakistani side. The issue has divived netizens with some fans feeling that it should have been called a no-ball while others suggesting that the bowler's foot had actually landed inside the crease before no part of it was behind the line.<br /><br /><strong>Take a look at some of the reactions here:</strong><br /><br /><br /></p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">3rd umpire judges it as a Legal Delivery. <a href="https://t.co/WDwDpJAyAq">pic.twitter.com/WDwDpJAyAq</a></p> — Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) <a href="https://twitter.com/mufaddal_vohra/status/1683107170622279680?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 23, 2023</a></blockquote> <p> <script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script> </p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Debatable tbh.
