After the India Bangladesh clash at Adelaide ended there was an allegation by a Pakistani journalist that the cricket governing body tends to give preferential treatment to India with regards to multi- nation events. Shahid Afridi also had the same grouse. The discussion was about Shakib Al Hasan and how he fumed because the match against India had resumed just 15 minutes after the rain delay. Adelaide has a wonderful drainage system, and the ground also gets dry in a flash.

This comment from the former Pakistan captain had a lot of reactions and he was given a mouth shutting reply by Roger Binny the present Indian Cricket Board President. In an interaction to Samaa TV, this is what the journalist said, "Shakib Al Hasan bhi yehi keh rahe thhe. Aur woh screen par bhi dikhaya gaya. Aap ne ground dekhi... geeli thi. Par mujhe lagta hai ki Cricket Governing Body ka jhukaav jo hai, woh zara India ko kisi tareeke se semifinal pohuchaane ke liye kar raha hai (Shakib Al Hasan said the same thing and it was shown on the screen as well. You saw the ground how wet it was. But I feel that the cricket governing body is somewhat inclined towards India. They want to ensure that India reach the semifinals at any cost)."

We are not favoured by the Cricket Governing Body - Roger Binny

To which Afridi replied, "I know what happened. Given the amount of rain that happened, the game resumed immediately after the break. It is very evident that Cricket Governing body, then India playing, then the pressure that comes with it, there are many factors involved."

To this, Binny gave a mouth-shutting reply to Afridi saying, “Not fair. I don't think we're favoured by the cricket governing body. Everyone gets the same treatment. No way in which you can say that. What do we get different from other teams? India is a big powerhouse in cricket, but we're all treated the same,” he told ANI.

In a game of two halves for Bangladesh, The Bangla Tigers fell short by five runs via the DLS method and lost 79-6 after the rain interruption. This was after they had scored 66-0 in the first seven overs.
