Players and spectators were left baffled as to what happened in the dramatic final stages of the match between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh in the Super 12 match at The Gabba.

This ensured that another game of this ongoing T20 World Cup had a thrilling finish when players were called out to the pitch to re-bowl the final delivery. Eventually, Bangladesh managed to squeeze out a narrow win.
