T20 World Cup, Pakistan vs Australia: David Warner's Dismissal Leaves Fans On Twitter Bewildered
NDTV
T20 World Cup, PAK vs AUS: David Warner was given out caught behind, but replays showed that there was no spike on the 'Ultra Edge' and quite a gap between the bat and ball.
Australia's dream of winning a maiden T20 World Cup remained intact as they defeated Pakistan by five wickets to march into the final where they will face New Zealand. The Aaron Finch-led side had to battle it out against Pakistan but some brilliant power-hitting by Marcus Stoinis and Matthew Wade got them over the line in the semis. During Australia's chase, there was an error from David Warner that could have cost them dear, but fortunately for the Aussies, it didn't matter. #T20WorldCup pic.twitter.com/sHMzbuUXWY An Australian batsman walking when he hadn't nicked it?

What Happened To Warner, Why No Review Why warner didn't take a review. The match was at a crucial juncture. He was playing at a phenomenal strike rate of 165 odd. Australia had 2 reviews left. What's the point blaming the umpiring decisions. You can always reverse it
Warner had done exceptionally well after captain Aaron Finch had been dismissed for a golden duck. The Australian left-hander reached 49 off just 29 balls to put his team in a good position.
On the first delivery of the 11th over, Warner received a tossed up delivery from Shadab Khan wide of the off-stump. The batter tried to manufacture a shot but it looked like he edged the delivery to Pakistan wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan for an easy catch.
Despite Australia having two reviews, Warner did not opt for the DRS and walked off the ground.
Later, Twitter went berserk as fans shared photos of the 'Ultra Edge', which showed that Warner's bat didn't come in contact with the ball at all.
