WATCH: Australian players left fuming after 'controversial run out'

D'Árcy Short was given out after Pakistani spinner Imad Wasim got a finger to a shot returned from Aaron Finch that later went on to hit the stumps at the non-striker's end

The Australian players were left fuming after a controversial run-out decision was given in the favor of their opponents during the second T20I against Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Friday. Chasing a target of 148 to win, Australian opener D'Árcy Short, who was then batting at the non-striker’s end was given out after Pakistani spinner Imad Wasim got a finger to a shot returned from Aaron Finch that later went on to hit the stumps.   

Much to disbelief of both the batsmen present at the crease- Third umpire gave Short out despite the replays not being able to give a conclusive answer. 

Here's the video...

"We certainly had a view as a team that we thought his bat was clearly grounded behind the line," Maxwell said at the post-match press conference. “Maybe the third umpire pressed the wrong button. We've all made mistakes.”

"As we probably saw it in the change rooms, there wasn't really any doubt. I think if you even look at the way he's holding his bat, it's very hard to hold it above the line with the bat sitting out of his gloves.” he added.

However, Pakistan skipper Sarfraz Ahmed had different views regarding the run-out.

"I don't know why (there was) so much reaction because clearly it is out," he said. "The bat is not on the ground."

Australia lost the match by 11 runs as Pakistan attained a 2-0 lead to clinch the three-match T20I series.
