On Friday, November 4, at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, Netherlands and Afghanistan will play Match 34 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. The captain of the Netherlands, Scott Edwards, decided to bat first after winning the toss. In the 12th over, the Dutch were 73/1 and looking good. Suddenly, they collapsed badly and were quickly reduced to 97/5.
Captain Scott Edwards was also searching for a golden duck when Muhammad Nabi ran him out. But, puzzled by Edwards’ decision to be run out rather than stumped, supporters wondered why. Remarkably, the Dutch skipper advanced a short distance after being struck by Nabi, resulting in his being called run out rather than stumped.
Why run out, its stumped & its Nabis wicket, isn’t it?
