NZ vs BAN, 2nd T20I: Bangladesh coach reacts after confusion over revised DLS

Bangladesh coach Russell Domingo said that he had never been involved in a game before, where the batsmen went out to bat without knowing what the target of DLS was. The incident occurred on Tuesday during the second T20I between Bangladesh and New Zealand in Napier. As they began their pursuit, the game was halted under bizarre conditions as there were no modified goals for the spectators.

When the second innings resumed, it looked as if Bangladesh were to chase 148 runs in 16 overs after adjusting to the DLS methodology as per the goal.

But after 1.3 overs, the game was halted and the umpires took the ball in possession as there was confusion about Bangladesh chasing the target.

The game was halted for about five minutes and after some number reduction, it was revealed that Bangladesh had to chase 170 runs in 16 overs.

“I don’t think I’ve been involved in a game where the batsmen used to go out before and didn’t know what the target of the DLS was. It was raining all around. Nobody had any idea that the five or How much did we need after six. ” Over. I don’t think the game should have been started until it was finalized, before it was a clear indication of what is needed, and what we needed in a few stages. I do not think this at all. [the conduct of the match] This evening was quite good, ”ESPNcricinfo quoted Domingo as saying.

“[When we met the match referee] They were still waiting for printouts and calculations. I think if you are waiting, the game cannot start before it starts. What was explained now was that they normally get one or two balls in an innings, but had not yet received it. They were waiting for it. There were delays and all sorts of items. No excuse [for the defeat], But it is very disappointing for us. They could not be late in the game, because they were running out of overs, ”he said.

Promoted
