PakvsAus: Twitter thinks Azhar Ali’s crucial wicket was ‘saazish’ against him

Pakistan and Australia are playing the third and last Test of the three-match Test series. The match is being played in Gadaffi Stadium, Lahore.

Pakistan was 136-2 at lunch as Australia took advantage of Azhar’s wicket, which was crucial as Pakistan is chasing a big target in series-deciding match. Social media users are calling the decision controversial.

Azhar looked to sweep a ball from Nathan Lyon, which popped up in the air after hitting the pad. Steve Smith, positioned at slip, caught the ball and the entire Australian team went up in appeal in unison. The on-field umpire turned the appeal down and the Australian captain Pat Cummins asked for a review.

The third umpire saw a small spike on the “Ultra-edge” and overturned the onfield umpire’s decision. Azhar Ali had to walk back.

Azhar Ali had might not stepped up on both the crucial occasions for Pakistan during Karachi and Lahore tests but at the same time Azhar Ali was totally unlucky with his dismissals. The short ball didn't bounced in Karachi Test and an unfair call by umpire in Lahore Test!#PAKvAUS
