Seasoned Zimbabwe batsman Sean Williams on Sunday termed as “weird” the incident of the final ball being declared a ‘no-ball’ in the T20 World Cup here in which Bangladesh won by three runs. In this unprecedented incident, players from both the teams were recalled from the dugout as the last ball was found to be a ‘no-ball’. Williams said, “It was very strange. Of course we haven’t experienced anything like this before in a cricket match but in a T20 match, there is little hope that anything can happen. ,
“The first time I saw that ‘no-ball’ was when we were going to shake hands with the umpire and he stopped us and then the replay came on the big screen. That’s when we saw that it was a ‘no-ball’. Been very interesting. Bangladesh batsman Najmul Hossain Shanto scored a career-best 71.
He said, “Yes, it was a completely new experience for us. But we knew we could do well so Mosaddek bowled very well under pressure. To be honest, I was a little nervous.But we believed we could. Bangladesh are now second on the table with a ‘negative’ run rate, to which Shanto said, “No, we are not thinking about the run rate. We are looking to win the match. Yes, we are not thinking that net run rate will be a part of this tournament but our focus is only on winning matches.
