Bangladesh to raise concerns about Virat ‘fake fielding’ with cricket.

fake fielding: India defeated Bangladesh by five runs in the rain-soaked game in Adelaide on Wednesday that came down to the last ball, thereby ending Bangladesh’s hopes of reaching the semifinals for the first time. Later, Kohli‘s “false throw,” which could have knotted the game, was allegedly overlooked by the on field umpires, according to vice-captain Nurul Hasan.

In the seventh over of Bangladesh’s innings, Liton Das smashed a ball off Axar Patel that went far beyond the off-side field just before play was stopped by rain.

India’s Arshdeep Singh threw the ball back, and as it whizzed past Kohli at the point, he faked to toss the ball.

A Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) official told AFP that despite Liton and non-striking batsman Najmul Hossain drawing attention to it, umpires Marais Erasmus and Chris Brown did nothing.

According to BCB cricket operations chief Jalal Yunus, Bangladesh would bring up the matter “if an opportunity comes” at the ICC board meeting, which is scheduled to occur in Melbourne the following week during the event.

When the opportunity arises, we will discuss the issues. It is not a protest because there is no value to doing it now.

Yunus further asserted that a slippery pitch during the match’s restart had hampered Bangladesh’s chances of triumph, halting the openers’ momentum after Liton’s blistering 21-ball fifty.

Bangladesh was given a revised goal of 151 runs from 16 overs to chase down India’s 184-6 when play resumed after a 45-minute stoppage.

Liton attempted a second run after the stoppage, but he stumbled and was caught for 60 runs off of 27 balls.

After falling to 145-6, Bangladesh lost by a narrow margin.

In their final Super-12 encounter on November 6, Bangladesh will play Pakistan in the same Adelaide stadium. As a result of two victories over the Netherlands and Zimbabwe, Bangladesh presently has four points
