The incident took place in Bangladesh’s innings during the 17th over.
On Monday, June 10, Bangladesh and South Africa squared off in Match 21 of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Nassau County Stadium in New York. Bangladesh held South Africa to 113 runs, however they were unable to repeat the feat in their chase. Except for Mahmudullah and Towhid Hridoy, none of the batters rose to the occasion. In a closely contested game, the Tigers were unable to score four runs as a result.
Former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer emphasized one certain facet of the game. Ottneil Baartman produced a fuller delivery in the 17th over while Mahmudullah was batting; it deflected off the pads and eventually crossed the fence. An LBW was awarded to the Proteas after they filed an appeal. Mahmudullah examined the ruling that was reversed. The four runs for byes were not, however, tallied in accordance with the rules. Ironically, Bangladesh was defeated by four runs in the match.
Mahmudullah was incorrectly declared out of bounds; four leg byes were awarded. On DRS, the ruling was overturned. Bangladesh failed to score four runs because, even in the event of a hitter being out, the ball is dead. And SA won the match by a final score of four runs. Feel sorry for the fans of Bangladesh. Jaffer commented, “#SAvBAN #T20WC,” on his “X” post.
Even though we were a little anxious, we knew we could cross the line: Shanto
Ahead of the T20 World Cup in 2024, Bangladesh was coming off a series defeat to the United States of America. Despite being labeled as underdogs, they disproved the doubters by defeating Sri Lanka handily in their opening encounter. The Tigers can still qualify for the Super 8 with victories over the Netherlands and Nepal, despite their defeat to South Africa in the ensuing match. Najmul Shanto brought attention to the fact that the team has been without a leg spinner for almost ten years.
“We were a little anxious, but we knew we could cross the line, which is regrettably not what happened. Tantim Hasan: He put in a lot of effort the past two days; we were hoping to get wickets with the new ball, and today he proved his mettle. We should have won this match since they bowled exceptionally well in the last few overs. In the post-match presentation, Shanto stated, “It can happen in cricket.”
“(Rishad) He practiced a lot, which shows in the way we bowled in the last few series. He is very good.” We’re fortunate to have one because we’ve suffered with leg-spinners for the past ten to fifteen years. I hope he can carry on. I appreciate all of the support, and I hope to see you in the West Indies too,” he continued.
