what is the rule
When Hamza Sheikh was out in this manner, it was investigated and it was found that he was declared out as per the rules. According to ICC Article 37.1.1, if any batsman tries to obstruct fielding, he will be declared out. Under Rule 37.2, a batsman will be out if he intentionally obstructs a fielder by word or action when the ball is in play and is not dead.
The batsman is out even if he hits the ball twice.
In other paragraphs of the same rule, it is mentioned that the batsman is considered out if he catches the ball with his hands other than the bat. At the same time, if the batsman hits the same ball twice, he can still be given out. The only situation in which a batsman can hit the ball again is when the ball itself is moving towards the stump after hitting the bat. In such a situation, the batsman can stop the ball from hitting the stumps. Hamza was given out for obstructing fielding.
England won the match
When Hamza Sheikh was given out controversially, the score of the England team, which came to bat first, was 78 runs. But after that, on the basis of Charlie Ellison’s explosive innings of 76 runs, England scored 237 runs. In reply, the entire Zimbabwe team was all out on the score of 91 in 24.5 overs. Only Panache Taruvinga scored 38 runs for England. 10 runs came off Campbell’s bat. Apart from this, not a single batsman could reach double digits and England won the match by 146 runs.
