In the Perth Test, it was believed that Australia would have the upper hand. But, when the game started, the reality was opposite to the expectations. One team dominated but it was not Australia but Team India. Now Australia is in danger of a big defeat. However, this would not have happened if host Australia had not been penalized 110 runs. The wound caused by this penalty has pushed him towards defeat in Perth. Of course you must be wondering when and how the Australian team was fined in Perth? Actually, the penalty was imposed due to the mistake that Australia made in the live match on the ground in Perth.
When did Australia make a mistake in a live match?
The incident took place when the 41st over of India’s second innings was going on. Mitchell Starc was on bowling and Yashasvi was on strike. On the 5th ball of that over from Starc, the ball took the edge of the bat and went to Usman Khawaja standing in the slips. But Khawaja dropped that catch. Australia suffered the punishment for just this mistake in the match and was again fined 110 runs.
How was Australia fined 110 runs?
Now the question is that the mistake has been understood but how was Australia fined 110 runs? Actually, when Usman Khawaja dropped the catch of Yashasvi, he was playing on 51 runs. After that donation, he added 110 more runs to his score, which took him to 161 runs and gave Team India a chance to set a target of more than 500 runs.
Ohh noo
