Result of Naman Dhir’s Diving Catch:
The decision was sent upstairs by on-field umpires after questions arose regarding whether the ball made contact with the grass during the dive. Frame-by-frame television replays showed Dhir’s fingers cupped firmly underneath the leather as he slid across the turf. Following careful examination from multiple angles, the TV umpire upheld the out decision, confirming Dhir maintained complete control through his momentum.
Despite the early loss of Carty, West Indies mounted a fierce counter-attack through John Campbell, who reached a rapid century off 65 balls. The visitors capitalized on the quick scoring conditions in Guwahati, with Campbell (101), skipper Shai Hope (104), and Amir Jangoo (114) powering West Indies to a record score of 405/7 in their 50 overs.
