During the bronze medal cricket match at the Asian Games, Sri Lankan batsman Nuwanidu Fernando was dismissed following a disputed caught-behind call. With the team already in a difficult position at 18 for three, Fernando attempted an off-side shot but seemed to miss the delivery. Despite the lack of contact, umpire Nitin Menon signaled an out. Fernando expressed visible disbelief before leaving the field. Because the Decision Review System was not implemented for this specific fixture, the player could not contest the official's ruling. Following this incident, Sri Lanka managed to stabilize their innings, led by Tharindu Ratnayake’s 65 runs from 32 balls and captain Sahan Arachchige’s contribution of 33 runs.
