Bangladesh’s narrow loss to South Africa sparks the DRS debate

On Monday, the match between South Africa and Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup 2024 turned out to be an absolute thriller, with the Proteas securing a narrow 4-run victory against the Bangladesh Tigers.

Bangladesh appeared to be well-positioned to win the match, particularly considering that they only needed 27 runs in the final 4 overs to achieve the objective. However, a loophole in DRS worked in the favor of South Africa and resulted in Bangladesh being robbed of a boundary, which in the end turned out to be the difference-maker. All of this happened in the 17th over of the batting of Bangladesh, when Mahmudullah and TowidHridoy were in the middle.

Mahmudullah attempted a flick with the second ball of the over, but the ball struck his pads and flew to the boundary behind the stumps. Following a strong appeal by the South Africans, the umpire raised his finger, and the ball was deemed dead.

Following a review by Bangladesh, DRS revealed that the ball would not have struck the stumps; as a result, the on-field umpire was forced to overrule his initial ruling. The ball was deemed dead when the umpire lifted his finger, so even though the decision was overturned, Bangladesh's score was not increased by the boundary. According to the current ICC regulations of the game, the dead ball call could not be challenged even though the umpire was incorrect.

Jaffer posted on X, “Mahmudullah was wrongly given out LBW; the ball went for four leg byes. The decision was reversed on DRS. Bangladesh didn’t get the four runs, as the ball is dead once a batter given out, even if wrongly. And SA ended up winning the game by four runs. Feel for Bangladesh fans.”
