While some included major injuries, there were some controversial moments too. Among many such was Rassie van der Dussen’s controversial wicket.
In the ninth over South Africa inning, van der Dussen was given out LBW and the DRS showed some different results, causing uproar among the cricket fanatics. Initially, the ball tracking indices indicated that Usama Mir’ delivery would have missed the stumps. However, later it adjudged to suggest that the ball would have only gazed the bails, going with the umpire’s call, which was ‘out’.
However, now an ICC spokesperson has come forward to throw some light on the incident. As quoted by Sportskeeda, the spokesperson said, “In today’ match between South Africa and Pakistan, an incomplete graphic was erroneously displayed during the LBW review of Rassie van der Dussen. The completed graphic with the right details was ultimately displayed.”
