The dismissal of Marcus Stoinis
Stoinis, who managed to score 28 runs in 22 balls, including five boundaries, ended up hitting a leg-spinner. Piyush Chawla. The dismissal was a classic example of Chawla’s skill with the wrong’un. Tossed out near the crease, the ball went wide and turned in wide, hitting the right ball and sinking in front of middle stump as he missed the sweep completely. The umpire did not hesitate to raise his finger, marking the end of Stoinis’ innings.
