Pakistan captain Shan Masood expressed confusion over his lbw dismissal during the Cape Town Test against South Africa. He felt that the ball-tracking technology, Hawkeye, misrepresented the trajectory of the delivery from Kwena Maphaka. Masood, who scored 145 runs, was initially ruled not out but had the decision overturned after a review. He argued that the ball was an outswinger, contrary to Hawkeye's indication that it was an inswinger hitting the stumps. Masood showed visible frustration with the decision, believing the technology did not accurately reflect the ball's path. He noted that he was struck on the outside of the leg, not where Hawkeye suggested.
