NEW DELHI: Bangladesh faced a heartbreaking four-run defeat to South Africa in a T20 World Cup match at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Monday. The match ended in controversy due to an umpiring error and a contentious Decision Review System (DRS) rule, leaving Bangladesh and their fans frustrated.
With 27 runs needed from 24 balls and six wickets in hand, Bangladesh appeared to be in a strong position. Set batters Mahmudullah and Towhid Hridoy were at the crease when Ottneil Baartman bowled the 17th over. On the second ball, Mahmudullah attempted a flick shot but missed, and the ball brushed his pads before racing to the boundary.
