Explained: How MCC law of cricket denied Bangladesh four runs and hence a win against South Africa in T20 World Cup – India TV
India TV NewsSouth Africa continued their charge in the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup as they ended their New York leg with three wins in as many matches and now have one foot in the door towards the Super 8 stage. South Africa despite not getting their lengths correct on that surface at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, were able to defend a low score of 113 runs as Bangladesh fell short by just four. Kagiso Rabada and Keshav Maharaj eventually won it for South Africa but the rule became a huge topic of debate, with many including cricketers like Wasim Jaffer calling it for it to be changed by the ICC given it could potentially cost a team in the semi-final or a final and hence the trophy. It already played a decisive role in the result of the match and a few rules with gray areas have been changed in the past, whether it was the boundary count after the 2019 World Cup final or runs on clean bowled on a free hit after the India vs Pakistan, T20 World Cup 2022 match.
