In the finals of the 1999 Coca Cola Champion trophy played between Sri Lanka and Pakistan, Aravinda De Silva was taking control and he was threatening to take the game away from Pakistan.
Chasing 211, Sri Lanka were 49 for 1 with Aravinda and Kaluwitharana in the crease. Then happened one of the most bizarre umpire decisions in the 90s. Sri Lanka started collapsing after it and eventually got bowled out to 123 runs.
Out or not?
One of the most bizarre decisions you'll ever see in a cricket match.
Is this out or not out?
