Highlights:

Shan Masood gets hit-wicket and run out on the same ball.

Umpires still give not out to PAK batter.

Everyone got to witness a rare incident during the Yorkshire vs Lancashire match in the ongoing edition of the T20 Blast 2024, which was being played at the Headingley Stadium in Leeds, on June 20 (Thursday). Shan Masood suffered both a hit-wicket and run-out dismissal on the very same ball but was still given not-out by the on-field umpires.

 

How did Shan Masood survive double dismissal?

 

During the 15th over which was being bowled by Jack Blatherwick, Shan Masood got hit-wicket out but during the confusion, he was also run out on the other end. However, it was given a no-ball. But in usual cases, a run-out is valid even on a no-ball but umpires declared him not out.

This was due to Shan Masood crossing his crease out of the confusion of being out and in such situations, umpires are allowed to give batter not out as per the rule 31.7.

 

What does rule 31.7 say?

 

The rule 31.7 is about batters leaving the wicket under a misapprehension. It states “An umpire shall intervene if satisfied that a batter, not having been given out, has left the wicket under a misapprehension of being out.  The umpire intervening shall call and signal Dead ball to prevent any further action by the fielding side and shall recall the batter. A batter may be recalled at any time up to the instant when the ball comes into play for the next delivery unless it is the final wicket of the innings, in which case it should be up to the instant when the umpires leave the field."
