Watch: After 'Timed Out' Row, New Zealand Stars Ask Angelo Mathews To Check Helmet Strap, Say Commentators

09.11.2023 - 11:39 sports.ndtv.com

Veteran Sri Lanka batter Angelo Mathews has been dominating headlines since becoming the first ever cricketer to be dismissed 'timed out' during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh.

The incident led to a massive controversy with experts and fans split over the 'spirit of cricket' discussion that surrounded the event.

Mathews reached the crease in time but due to a broken helmet strap, he was not ready to face his first delivery. The umpires had no other option but to give him 'timed out' after an appeal from Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan.

While tempers flared after that match, Mathews saw the funny side of things when he was reportedly teased by New Zealand players on Thursday.
