England defeated New Zealand courtesy of a higher boundary count following a Super Over.바카라 웹사이트
In the final over of the chase, a바카라 웹사이트throw from deep ricocheted off Stokes' bat to the boundary. Umpire Kumar Dharmasena awarded six runs; two바카라 웹사이트run by batsmen (Stokes and Mark Wood) and four for the overthrow which went to the boundary. The decision somewhat tilted바카라 웹사이트the game in바카라 웹사이트England's favor, leading to a Super Over.
Taufel바카라 웹사이트stated that it was an umpiring error and바카라 웹사이트England should have been given five runs and not six.
The MCC rulebook's Law 19.8 which pertains to "Overthrow or wilful act of fielder", states, "If the boundary results from an overthrow or from the wilful act of a fielder, the runs scored shall be any runs for penalties awarded to either side, and the allowance for the boundary, and the runs completed by the batsmen, together with the run in progress if they had already crossed at the instant of the throw or act."
The incident is somewhat reminiscent of Diego Maradona's 'Hand of God' goal against England in the 1986 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals, where he scored via his hand against Peter Shilton.바카라 웹사이트As there was no VAR a that time, the goal was awarded, giving Argentina the lead which was later바카라 웹사이트doubled바카라 웹사이트by Maradona's "Goal of the Century" in a 2-1 victory.
