Clanger helps Southee

-

Black Caps bowler Tim Southee and the Kolkata Knight Riders can thank an apparent umpiring clanger for their IPL win over the Mumbai Indians. Southee controvers­ially had Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma dismissed with the sixth delivery of their pursuit of Kolkata’s 165-9, after successful­ly reviewing a not out decision for caught behind. Sharma was left fuming after the decision, and had no shortage of support among social media users. Mumbai never recovered from the setback, with Southee’s new-ball partner Pat Cummins nabbing 3-22 to help dismiss them for 113 in 17.3 overs.
