  * Dasun Shanaka missed the delivery.

  * Batters attempted a run, Samson threw at the stumps → looked like a run-out chance.

  * Umpire instead signaled **caught behind**, declaring Shanaka out.

  * Replays showed **no edge on the bat**.

  * As per laws, once umpire signals a dismissal, the ball becomes **dead** → the run-out couldn’t be counted.

  * After review, Shanaka was given **not out**, sparking protests from Indian players.

* **Next ball:** Shanaka actually got out.

* Sri Lanka managed only **2 runs in the Super Over**.

* India chased 3 runs in just **1 ball**, sealing the win.
