Serious DRS Allegation of Pakistan Great says, “The clipping was shown wrong"

The South African cricket team defeated Pakistan by one wicket margin to register a thrilling victory over them on Friday. Although there was a brilliant knock of 91 runs by Aiden Markram, a late batting collapse from South Africa kept Pakistan alive in the game. It was left to the last pair of Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi to score the final 11 runs. Shamsi survived a close leg-before appeal that went to the umpire's call off fast bowler Haris Rauf with eight needed. The incident took place on the final ball of the 46th over.
Shamsi was hit on the front pad during Rauf's bowling. The ground umpire gave it not out, and Pakistan reviewed the decision. Ball tracking revealed that the ball would have clipped the leg stump, which meant the wicket was on the umpire's call. Shamsi survived, as the field umpire had given him not out.
Speaking about the decision review system after the game, former Pakistan captain Moin Khan made serious allegations, blaming the umpire for it. Moin added that the clipping shown by the ball tracker was wrong.
Moin said, "It was the umpire's mistake. Shamsi should have been given away. At the point of impact, the leg stump was visible. It was clearly out, and the umpire should've raised his finger. It could've gone down for referral then. I feel the clipping was shown wrong. The full ball was hitting the leg stump.”
