Super Over controversy: how a dead‑ball rule saved Dasun Shanaka in Asia Cup
A dramatic Super Over between India and Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup led to an odd dismissal that hinged on a little‑known dead‑ball rule. Dasun Shanaka was first given out caught behind, then reviewed, only to escape a run‑out despite being out of his crease. The MCC’s Rule 20.1.1.3 declared the ball dead the moment the first dismissal was signaled. This technicality kept Shanaka alive in the tie‑breaker. The incident has reignited debate over cricket’s complex law book.
