Axar Patel wide call reversed in India's two-run win over Japan

India win rain-shortened T20I against Japan by two runs after umpires reverse wide call in final over.

India defeated Japan by two runs in a rain-shortened T20I at Sano International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. The five-over match saw India post 32 for four before Japan fell short at 30 for three. A key moment came in the final over when Axar Patel's delivery was initially called wide before umpires reversed the decision after consulting each other. The reversal changed the equation from six runs needed off four balls to seven from three. Japan required four runs from the final ball but managed only a leg bye.
