Bowler concedes 92 runs in four legal deliveries

12 Apr, 2017

This incident happened in Bangladesh’s domestic cricket match, where Latmatia bowler Sujon Mahmud bowled only four legal deliveries and conceded 92 runs, including 65 wide runs (from 13 wide balls) and 15 from three no balls in just the first over of the chase as Axiom Cricketers sealed a 10-wicket victory.

The unique incident occurred in the ongoing Dhaka Second Division Cricket League during the game between Axiom and Lalmatia Club at City Club Cricket Gound on Tuesday.  The league is organised by the Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis.

Lalmatia were asked to bat first. However, top-and middle-order debacle saw the side manage 88 in 14 overs losing all of their wickets.

The Lalmatia dressing room was left outraged as they claimed that the on-field umpires had given unfair decisions against them, informed Lalmatia general secretary Adnan Rahman Dipon.

“It started at the toss. My captain was not allowed to see the coin and we were sent to bat first and as expected, the umpires’ decisions came against us,” Dipon told Dhaka Tribune.
