South Africa vs Bangladesh (Image Credit- Twitter X) The 21st match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 was played between South Africa and Bangladesh (SA vs BAN). In this low scoring match held at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, South Africa won against Bangladesh by 4 runs. However, the on-field umpiring during this match was criticized a lot in the cricket world including former players. During the match, Bangladeshi batsman Towhid Hridoy, who scored 37 runs in 34 balls, has given a big statement regarding umpiring. Let us tell you that in the match, Bangladeshi batsman Mahmudullah was given out LBW in the 17th over, but after this he took DRS and in the review he was declared not out. But during this time the ball hit Mahmudullah’s pad and crossed the boundary line, but since the ball hit the pad and the player was not out, the ball was declared dead. But this ball could have been a four, if the field umpire had taken the right decision. On the other hand, these 4 runs later became the reason for Bangladesh’s defeat, and there were some field decisions during the match in which the wide ball was not declared wide. Now Tauhid Hridoy has given a big statement regarding the poor umpiring during the match. Tauheed Hridoy gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the match between South Africa and Bangladesh ended, Tauhid Hridoy said to Cricbuzz – Honestly, these decisions were not good for us in such a big match. From my point of view, the umpire gave him out, but it was very difficult for us. Those 4 runs could have changed the result of the match. Cricket rules are not in my hands, but those 4 runs were very important at that time. Umpires can make calls, can make mistakes. But they are also human beings. They did not give wides on some occasions, which should have been given wides. In such matches where the score is low, 1-2 runs play a big role. I was given out on an umpire’s call, in which there is scope for improvement.
