DC batter Nitish Rana was adjudged not out by the third umpire after being caught at deep square leg.

Rana was batting at 74 off 38 balls when he was caught by Marcus Stoinis at deep square leg. Just as he was walking back to the dugout and David Miller was coming into bat, Rana was asked to wait by the umpire just to make sure it was a clean catch, as Stoinis had completed the catch on the ground close to the boundary line.

Stoinis’ body language suggested that it was a clean catch, but replays however showed that the Australian’s right leg touched the boundary rope as he completed the catch. The decision was subsequently reversed, and Rana came back to bat.

The 32-year-old was eventually dismissed by Bartlett in the 19th over after scoring a well made 91 off 44 balls.
