After the defeat against America in the T20 World Cup 2024, now there is a big accusation on the Pakistani cricket team. American fast bowler Rusty Theron has accused Harris Rauf of ball tampering. Rusty Theron tweeted and demanded ICC to investigate the matter. Rusty Theron accused Harris Rauf of ball tampering. Theron said that Harris did all this to make Rauf reverse swing the ball.
Rusty Theron said, “You guys can see that Harris nailed the ball with his thumb on the runup.”
Harris Rauf bowled the last over
Haris Rauf bowled the last over in a thrilling match against America. Pakistan had to save 15 runs in this over but Haris Rauf could not do it. America needed 5 runs off the last ball and Harris gave away 4 runs. Whether or not Haris Rauf tampered with the ball with his thumb is a matter of investigation. The allegation that Rusty Theron is making is very serious.
@ICC are we just going to pretend Pakistan aren't scratching the hell out of this freshly changed ball? Reversing the ball that's just been changed 2 overs ago? You can literally see Harris Rauf running his thumb nail over the ball at the top of his mark. @usacricket #PakvsUSA

Pakistan cricket team could not win even if Haris Rauf tampered with the ball. The American team took this match to the Super Over where Pakistan lost by 5 runs. If the Pakistan team also loses against India, it is difficult to reach the Super-8 round.
