A controversial DRS call has robbed Bangladesh<\/a> fans of another upset win at the T20 World Cup\ufeff<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Spinner Keshav Maharaj bowled a six-run, two-wicket final over and South Africa held off Bangladesh by four runs to stay unbeaten in the T20 World Cup, but a call by the umpire late in the match proved to be vital.<\/p>\n

During the 17th over\ufeff, Proteas bowler Ottneil Baartman's delivery flicked the pads of Mahmudullah and the ball raced away to the boundary at fine leg.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly,\ufeff the umpire raised his finger for LBW even though the ball looked to be travelling down the leg side.<\/p>\n

\"Bangladesh<\/p>\n

The Bangladesh batter then reviewed the decision and it was overturned. However the damage was done because according to DRS rules, when a batter is given out by the on-field umpire the ball is declared dead, even if the decision is overturned.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"Big moment that … I reckon the Bangladesh batters will be a bit disappointed there," former England captain Nasser Hussain said in commentary for Amazon Prime.<\/p>\n

"Given out, it's a dead ball. But the ball went away for four leg-byes, and in a low-scoring game, Bangladesh have missed out on those leg-byes."<\/p>\n

Considering the Proteas won by only four runs, the moment drastically changed the underdog's fortunes.<\/p>\n

Bangladesh needed 11 from the last six deliveries to register a famous win, then needed a six off the last ball.<\/p>\n

Taskin Ahmed came to the crease after Bangladesh's seventh wicket, and faced the last ball, a full toss by Maharaj. Ahmed swung and managed only one run.<\/p>\n

On a typically tough batting pitch at Nassau County Stadium, South Africa successfully defended its lowly total of 6-113 and restricted Bangladesh to 7-109.<\/p>\n

\"Players<\/p>\n

It was the lowest target \u2014 114 \u2014 ever defended in a T20 World Cup, trumping India's defence of 120 runs just the day before.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was not nice on the heart, but feels good that we got over the line,\u201d said top-scorer Heinrich Klaasen, the player of the match. "This wicket is not great for stroke play. We got some information from the last game and applied it today. I think we got a decent total on the board.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have had three pressure games now and I think we are through (to the next round).\u201d<\/p>\n

Maharaj finished with 3-27 in four overs, while Kagiso Rabada (2-19) and Anrich Nortje (2-17) also bowled well.<\/p>\n

South Africa firmed top spot in Group D with three from three and was in pole position to secure a Super Eight spot. Bangladesh's first loss in two matches kept it in second place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
