In a rather bizarre incident, Mohammad Hafeez dished out a ball which bounced twice, and David Warner sent it for a six during the T20 World Cup 2021 semi-final between Pakistan and Australia in Dubai on Thursday. It was deemed a no-ball, and Warner failed to capitalize on the subsequent free-hit.

Mohammad Hafeez came into the attack in the eighth over of Australia’s run-chase, and lost the control over the ball first up, failing to release it properly. It bounced almost near his own feet, and tipped once more while heading towards an on-song David Warner. Warner was awake to the task, and jumped out of his crease to send the ball soaring over wide long-on fence.

The delivery was deemed a no-ball, and Warner could only manage a couple off the subsequent free-hit. Interestingly, it was the 12th no-ball delivered by Pakistan in the tournament.

Earlier, Pakistan rode on fifties from Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman to post 176/4 after Aaron Finch opted to bowl.

Australia were 109/5 from 14 overs at the time of writing.
