Bangladesh given 5-run penalty© Twitter
The South African cricket team was given a bonus of 5 runs in the T20 World cup 2022 match against Bangladesh on Thursday. The additional runs came as a penalty because of what happened in the 11th over of South Africa’s batting when Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan was bowling. Before the start of the 12th over, a big confusion emerged that prompted the umpires to have a chat, following which the bowling side was reprimanded, with 5 runs being awarded to the batting side.
The Bangla Tigers were penalised by the umpire after wicket-keeper Nurul Hasan moved while Shakib Al Hasan was en route to deliver the ball. As per the rules, the wicket-keeper isn’t allowed to move during the bowler’s run-up.
South Africa were 112/1 after the end of 11 overs but 5 runs were added to their total, making it 117/1 before the start of the 12th over.

Earlier, in the match between South Africa and Zimbabwe, the Proteas were handed a penalty after the ball touched wicket-keeper Quinton de Kock‘s glove that was lying on the ground behind the stumps. This time, however, it was the Proteas team that was rewarded.
