#2 SRH Lose After Umpire Ignores ‘Waist-High No-Ball’
Sunrisers Hyderabad lost a close contest to Chennai Super Kings by just four runs in 2018. This was after the leg-umpire overlooked the waist-high no-ball. On the second ball of the 17th over of the SRH innings, Shardul Thakur bowled a delivery that was above Williamson’s waist. But, to everyone’s surprise, the leg umpire declared that it was a fair delivery.Â
The leg umpire’s call turned out to be crucial as it led to SRH losing a game they should have won. Chennai batted first and scored 183 runs on the board on the back of Ambati Rayudu’s 79. In reply, the SRH side finished with a total of 178/6 in their allotted 20 overs and lost a closely fought contest despite Williamson’s classy 84.
