South Africa vs bangladesh, t20 world cup 2024

The 21st match of icc t20 world cup 2024 was played between south africa and bangladesh in New York on monday 10 June. In this exciting match, Africa defeated bangladesh by 4 runs and scored a hat-trick of wins. But do you know that the bangladesh team has lost due to a rule of ICC. Not only this, this ICC rule can give big shocks to many teams during t20 world cup 2024. After all, which rule of ICC is this, due to which bangladesh was not given a four and the team lost by only 4 runs.

Let us tell you that bangladesh lost against Africa by 4 runs, while the umpire did not give a four to the bangladesh team, which could have given the team victory. Actually, when bangladesh was chasing the target of runs, the team was not given four runs of leg bye on the second ball of the 17th over. Otniel Bartman was bowling for Africa and Mahmudullah was batting, then the ball hit the batsman's pad and the ball went towards the boundary line. In such a situation, it should have been given a four, but before the ball hit the boundary line, Africa appealed for LBW.

After South Africa's appeal, the umpire declared Mahmudullah out, after which the batsman took the review immediately without any delay and the umpire then declared him not out. Now in such a situation you must be thinking that after being not out, a four should be given. However, this has not happened and the team was not given a four. Now why did this happen and what is the rule of ICC due to which bangladesh had to data-face defeat.

Bangladesh lost due to ICC rules

It is worth noting that according to ICC rules, if the ball hits the pad and goes to the boundary line and before that the bowling team appeals and the umpire gives out, then runs will not be given. Whereas the ball will be recognized. In such a situation, teams may have to suffer a huge loss due to this rule. Like if you assume that a team needs 1 or 2 runs on the last ball and the ball hit the batsman's pad. But the batsman ran and took one or two runs, but during this the opposing team appealed and the umpire gave the batsman out. Even if the batsman remains not out after taking a review, the team will still have to data-face defeat. Because the run taken by the batsman will not be added.
