Controversy related zing bails in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. (CWC 2019) continues to make headlines. As seen already in the 2019 CWC that the bails do not come off despite ball hitting the stumps, it happened once again in the tournament during Pakistan vs New Zealand match. The decision did not affect the result of the match but has put question marks on umpiring standards in the ICC CWC 2019. Babar Azam Becomes First Pakistan Batsman to Score Century in CWC 2019, Helps PAK Beat New Zealand.
In the penultimate over of Pakistan chase, left-handed batsman Haris Sohail was run-out. Martin Guptill ran from backward point and then dived to disturb the stumps. The zing bails flashed at first but did not come off the groove. However, the third umpire ruled Sohail out. Pakistan at that time were nearing the victory and were in total control of the match.
Luckily for Pakistan, Sohail’s run-out came at a time when Pakistan were placed comfortably. Soon after the controversial dismissal, Twitterati spotted that bails didn’t come off and criticised the umpire’s decision. Here are some reactions.

CWC19: NZ v PAK - Haris Sohail is run out by Guptill for 68 https://t.co/0pzxVZicUZ # via @icc. Is this a run out? The bails flash initially and then fallback in place. The bails eventually fall off on second attempt but by the batsman is inside the crease

Fans clearly question the umpiring
The bails dislodged but didn't fall down when Haris Sohail was run out. They fell once he was in.
What happens when a batsman gets 'bowled', the bails come off the grove and land right back in it. Will it still be out?#PAKvNZ #ICCCricketWorldCup

Strange and poor as well
Is it a run out? But bails didn’t come off! And he was in back then when bails came off and settled again , that’s strange! #PAKvNZ

Simply: Not out
Haris given out, bails did not dislodge #PAKvNZ

And this!
After the @IPL, the bails continue to be the talk of the town as they didn't fall off in that Haris Sohail run-out.
Why is this disparity in decisions for bowled and run-outs where the player is adjudicated not out in one and out in the latter? #NZvPAK #PAKvNZ #CWC19
