NEW DELHI: Bangladesh's batter Towhid Hridoy expressed frustration over the umpiring standards during their narrow four-run loss to South Africa in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup match at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium.
Hridoy highlighted a controversial call in the 17th over of Bangladesh's run chase, where a ball from Ottneil Baartman struck Mahmudullah's pad and went for four. Initially given out LBW by the on-field umpire, the decision was overturned on review. However, since the umpire had declared it out, the ball was considered dead, denying Bangladesh crucial runs that could have altered the match outcome.
