T20 World Cup 2022: 3 Instances when umpires penalised teams
There have been a few times when the rules have not been adhered to in the ongoing T20 extravaganza and umpires have penalised teams for the same.
1. Bangladesh vs South Africa
During South Africa’s second game of the ongoing T20 extravaganza against Bangladesh, they were involved in yet another intriguing situation due to which the game saw five penalty runs. However, on this occasion, they were the beneficiaries of the same.
On the final delivery of the 11th over, when Shakib Al Hasan was about to deliver the ball, wicket-keeper Nurul Hasan moved to his left before the ball was bowled, which is not permitted as per the laws of the game. Following the delivery, the on-field umpires Langton Rusere and Rod Tucker were involved in a lengthy discussion and awarded five runs to South Africa.
Thus, South Africa’s score which was 112/1 after the end of 11 overs became 117/1 before the start of the 12th over. It was one of those days when not much went in Bangladesh’s favour. Amid the carnage inflicted by Rilee Rossouw and Quinton de Kock, these five runs just added insult to injury.
The Proteas posted a daunting total of 205 runs on the board riding on Rossouw’s blistering ton and de Kock's sensational half-century. Bangladesh in response were bundled out for mere 101 runs.
