During the SA20 game for the Durban Super Giants, Marcus Stoinis self-sabotaged, sending the stumps flying in a cringeworthy dismissal. In the clash between the Durban Super Giants and Mumbai Indians in Cape Town at Newlands Park, all-rounder Marcus Stoinis faced an unusual dismissal.
Stoinis tried a pull shot in the 15th over, which was bowled by Olly Stone, after Heinrich Klaasen was out of the game. However, the pacy short delivery hurried him, causing the ball to hit the handle of his bat, lobbing him up behind square.
Mumbai Indians Cape Town bowler KagisoRabada seized the opportunity, taking a catch. To further compound the odd turn of events, Stoinis hit the stumps by accident due to his inability to control his bat’s downswing. Rabada’s catch alone would have put Stoinis out even if the bat did not reach the stumps. With just one boundary, the all-rounder was only able to score 11 runs off of 10 balls.
Stoinis’ dismissal left the Durban Super Giants struggling at 94/5 within the 15 overs. The squad rallied admirably to secure a decent score on the scoreboard in spite of this loss.
In the Durban Super Giants vs. In the MI Cape Town encounter, the former batted with great efficiency, amassing a respectable 157/6 total. Despite a collapse in the middle order, a crucial partnership in the lower order, particularly the 39-run stand between Matthew Breetzke and Wiaan Mulder, enabled their team to surpass the 150-run mark.
