Story of rivalry between India And Pakistan A controversial new chapter was added during the sixth match of Group A on February 15, 2026. Women’s Rising Stars Asia Cup in Bangkok. While the scoreboard showed a resounding eight-wicket victory for India A, the match will be remembered for a heated clash with the Pakistan wicketkeeper. yusra ameer and star artistes of india Vrinda Dinesh.
Pakistan wicketkeeper’s controversial act of removing Vrinda Dinesh led to claims of cheating
The flashpoint occurred during Pakistan’s tense over. Gul Rukh. Vrinda played a soft defensive shot while chasing the Indian target. In a moment of intense drama, the ball spun back towards the stumps, threatening to dislodge the bails. Responding with pure cricketing instinct, Vrinda attempted to push the ball away with her bat – a move that is legally permitted to protect one’s wicket.
However, Pakistan wicketkeeper Aamir interfered in a manner that many observers deemed unsportsmanlike. Aamir went ahead and used his gloves to physically obstruct Vrinda’s bat and prevent her from delivering another strike. A heated argument broke out between the two players and the umpires intervened to calm the situation. Television replays confirmed that Amir’s gloves made direct contact with Vrinda’s bat before the batsman could clear the ball. After some deliberation, the officials ruled in favor of the batsman, declaring Vrinda not out.
The incident sparked immediate debate regarding the MCC laws of cricket. Under Law 37.2, a batsman is protected from the charge of “obstructing the field” if they are legitimately calling second strike to defend their wicket (as per Law 34.3). Conversely, Amir’s actions fall under the scrutiny of Law 41.5.1, which considers it unfair for any fielder to deliberately attempt to distract, deceive or obstruct the batsman after the ball is in play. By physically obstructing the batsman’s legal right to defend his stumps, the Pakistani keeper transgressed the boundaries of fair play.
