NEW DELHI: A controversial dismissal marred the Australia-South Africa World Cup encounter at Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Thursday. Australia's Marcus Stoinis was controversially given caught behind off the bowling of pacer Kagiso Rabada.
The incident occurred in the 18th over of the Australian run chase, when Stoinis faced a back-of-length delivery that was sliding down the leg side. In an attempt to glance at the ball, it appeared to make slight contact with his glove as it made its way to the wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock. What intensified the controversy was that Stoinis' backhand had come off the handle of the bat.
