More and more exciting matches are being seen every day in the International T20 League (ILT20 2024) and on Sunday, January 28, a match was played here between Sharjah Warriors and Desert Vipers. An incident occurred in this match which won the hearts of cricket fans and proved that sportsmanship is more important than victory or defeat in sports.
Shadab ran out the injured player
In fact, in this match, during the batting of Sharjah Warriors, Joe Denly hit a striking shot off Shadab's ball on the first ball of the 12th over. It went straight towards Martin Guptill standing on the non-striker, due to which Guptill got injured. That ball hit Guptill's hand.
After hitting the batsman, the ball went towards the bowler. Here Shadab took advantage of the opportunity and caught the ball and blew the bails. Guptill was out as per the rules of cricket, but it was not right according to the spirit of the game.
Colin Munro won hearts
Guptill was out, but Desert Vipers captain Colin Munro did not consider it at all right to dismiss the opposition player in this manner. This is the reason why Munro immediately withdrew his appeal on behalf of the Desert Vipers team and Guptill got a chance to bat again. This is the reason why now everyone is praising Munro and calling him a true player.
If we talk about this match, then at Sharjah Cricket Ground, Desert Vipers won the toss and decided to bowl first, after which Sharjah team won the match on the basis of captain Cadmore's stormy inning of 68 runs on 34 balls and Guptill's inning of 39 runs. Scored 174 runs in 20 overs. In response, Hales played an inning of 61 runs in 40 balls for Desert Vipers. Azam Khan added 35 runs. However, despite this, the team's total score could be only 167 runs after 20 overs and they lost the match by a margin of 7 runs.
