* The confusion surrounding Dasun Shanaka's non-dismissal after the review may be resolved by the umpires' decision being correct. According to Law 20.1.1.3, the ball is considered dead from the instant of the incident causing the dismissal. Since the umpire initially gave Shanaka out caught behind, the ball was deemed dead from the moment the umpire believed Shanaka had edged it. Consequently, the run-out that occurred afterward became irrelevant.
