ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: [WATCH] Marcus Stoinis Left Stunned By Dismissal Drama

The dismissal of Marcus Stoinis during the Cricket World Cup 2023 encounter between Australia and South Africa sparked confusion in the cricketing world. This particular incident occurred during a match in which Australia was facing off against South Africa. Stoinis, a prominent member of the Australian cricket team, found himself at the centre of a major controversy on a Thursday afternoon.

Stoinis faced a delivery from South African bowler Kagiso Rabada, which resulted in a glove touch, and the ball soared behind the stumps. The wicketkeeper, Quinton De Kock, executed a remarkable catch. However, to the surprise of many, the on-field umpire initially declared Stoinis as not out. South Africa’s captain, Temba Bavuma, swiftly decided to challenge this decision by requesting a review.

The replays from various camera angles conclusively displayed a clear spike on the UltraEdge device, signifying contact between the ball and Stoinis’s glove. The third umpire, following a thorough review, made the controversial decision to rule Stoinis out. In response, Stoinis vehemently protested the decision, claiming that the ball had made contact with his upper hand and, at that particular moment, was not in contact with the bat.

This contentious situation hinged on the rules outlined by the International Cricket Council (ICC), which stipulate that a batter cannot be declared caught out if the glove, which the ball comes into contact with, is not in contact with the bat. The third umpire’s judgment hinged on the belief that the upper glove was indeed touching the lower hand holding the bat. However, Stoinis remained unconvinced and continued to voice his disagreement with the decision.

Turning to the overall outcome of the match, South Africa emerged victorious, defeating Australia by a substantial margin of 134 runs. Australia, attempting to chase down a target of 312, struggled throughout their innings. This was primarily due to the exceptional bowling performances by South African bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Keshav Maharaj.

Rabada secured three crucial wickets, while Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi, and Marco Jansen each claimed two wickets, collectively inflicting significant damage on the Australian batting lineup. As a result, Australia found themselves on the losing end of both their matches in the Cricket World Cup 2023, a disappointing outcome for the team.
