While batting in the first ODI against Sri Lanka, New Zealand player Finn Allen was declared not out despite the ball hitting the wicket.
In the first match of the series of three one-day matches played at Eden Park, New Zealand had given Sri Lanka a target of 275 runs to win. New Zealand won by 198 runs.
In the third over of the innings, luck favored Finn Allen when he was facing the bowling of Sri Lankan bowler Rajantha when the ball hit his wickets and he was almost out but he was not out even though the stumps did not fall. Well, at that time Finn Allen was batting on 9 runs.
It should be noted that for the batter to be out, at least one of the balls on the wickets must fall.
The video of Finn Allen not getting out despite the ball hitting the wickets has also gone viral on social media.
26-year-old medium fast bowler Henry Shipley was adjudged man of the match for his brilliant bowling in the match, he made his debut earlier this year. Henry Shipley took five wickets for 31 runs in 7 overs.
