Controversy ensued in the U19 WC QF between Pakistan and Afghanistan as Afghan spinner Noor Ahmad 'mankaded' Pakistan's Mohammad Huraira to dismiss the batsman for 64. The incident sparked a raging debate online, with some backing the bowler as the rest lambasted him for his unsportsmanlike act.

Ravi Ashwin has found his brother! :D :D

🚨 MANKAD 🚨

Noor Ahmed used the Mankad mode of dismissal to see off Pakistan's well-set Muhammad Hurraira for 64!

Hahaha! Not at all.

It’s called childish behaviour on OTT of the bowler. 0 sportsmanship

Yup! Everyone must agree with this.

Good decision by the Afghans and the umpires. Batter MUST stay in their crease as per law 41.16.
