The Asia Cup 2022 is underway and so are the controversies. The first match is being played between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka in UAE. After being put to bat, Sri Lanka were pushed on the backfoot in the very first over as they lose two wickets in the first over, courtesy of Fazalhaq Farooqi. 

However, the 2nd over of the match raised a controversy after despite finding no spike on ultraedge, batter Pathum Nissanka was given out caught behind. 

The Sri Lankan dressing room couldn't believe the third umpire's call and were furious. Twitterati too wasn't pleased with the decision and expressed their disappointment on social media.
