A third successive low-scoring thriller in the Big Apple has ended with South Africa effectively sealing their place in the T20 World Cup's Super Eight stage and Bangladesh bemoaning one of cricket's many quirky laws.
Chasing 114 to win the Tigers fell five short of victory, largely thanks to a leaping boundary catch off the penultimate ball by South Africa captain Aiden Markram.
But they were also four short of forcing a super over, which was a bitter outcome after four runs were chalked off in the 17th over after Australian umpire Sam Nogajski gave an lbw decision that was overturned on review. The ball ran away for four leg byes - but because of the initial decision the ball counted as dead, and was not replayed.
