A Twitter user with the handle @Stylohamza1 wrote, “First a no Ball then running on a dead ball after getting bowled. #Umpires #cheating #noball #icc #worldcup #nawaz #pakistanVSindia Pakistan VS India“
The user cited a quote that allegedly came from British cricket commentator and former cricketer Nasser Hussain, “The umpires made some weird decision in favour of India today but maybe we should keep quiet and not upset ICC and BCCI.”
