The 25th match of the T20 World Cup 2024 was played between the joint hosts USA and India. Both the teams faced each other at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. In this match, major action was taken against the USA team due to the new ICC rule. At the same time, Team India also got huge benefit from USA's mistake.
The US team became a victim of this ICC rule
After the 15th over of Team India's innings, the umpire imposed a penalty of 5 runs on the USA team. The decision against the USA team was made under the stop clock rule. According to the rules, if the bowling team is not ready to bowl the next over within 60 seconds of the completion of the previous over, then a penalty of 5 runs is imposed and this happens for the third time in the innings. The umpire also warned Team USA twice and then took this action.
The batting team got the benefit of this
The stop clock rule benefited the batting team. If a team takes more than 60 seconds to bowl the next over after the completion of the previous over, then 5 runs are given to the batting team, in such a situation 5 runs are added to Team India's account. It has always been seen that 1-1 run is enough to change the result of the match. In such a situation, this 5-run batting is very useful for the team and the same was seen in this match as well. Let us tell you that Team India needed 35 runs to win in the last 5 overs. Then they were given these 5 runs, which were very useful for Team India at the last moment.
