From Chris Gayle to Brendon McCullum, 5 batters to score fastest T20 World Cup hundreds

The world-famous sporting tech firm Hawk-Eye has offered an apology to the organisers of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) on Friday (Feb 23) after a massive mistake in Thursday’s match. The PSL which is the biggest franchise league in Pakistan on Thursday witnessed a huge blunder in the game between Quetta Gladiators and Islamabad United. And&nbsp;lbw appeal given not out was wrongly overturned by the evidence provided by the Hawk-Eye system which sparked the brawl.

<h2>Hawk-Eye offers apology</h2>

On the last ball of the 11th over, South African batter and Gladiators captain Rilee Rossouw was judged not out by on-field umpire Aleem Dar upon which Islamabad decided to review the call. Dar signaled for the Decision Review System (DRS) to be used with third umpire Michael Gough calling for technical assistance. Upon review, slow-motion replay appeared to show the ball straightening instead of gripping and turning.

Static images of the impact on the pad also suggested a potential disparity between where the ball had hit Rossouw, and where the ball Hawk-Eye was tracking declared it to be hitting, with the former much more plausibly in line with the stumps.

Everyone was surprised with the incident while the match was reaching a decisive stage, including Shadab Khan, the captain of Islamabad United. The decision had a huge effect on the outcome of the match as Quetta Gladiators won by 3 wickets.

"I think technology made a mistake," Shadab said.

"The ball-tracking showed a different delivery, and it was a match-changing moment. These sorts of things should be sorted out properly in such a big tournament. These mistakes should not happen. I bowled four overs here as a legspinner, and I don't think the ball was spinning here. And they showed Agha [Salman]'s delivery hitting outside off stump and spinning away. I don't buy that," he added.

The win for Gladiators has taken them to six points from the opening three matches and along with Multan Sultans are the only other team with a perfect record. On the other hand, Lahore Qalandars are still without a win from their opening three matches of the PSL season.

Hawk-Eye offers apology after lbw error in PSL contest between Quetta Gladiators, Islamabad United

Rilee Rossouw scored the first century of the Twenty20 World Cup and built a partnership of 163 with Quinton de Kock to drive South Africa to a thumping 104-run victory over Bangladesh on Thursday.

Muscular lefthander Rossouw pummelled eight sixes and seven fours around the Sydney Cricket Ground for his 109, while de Kock pitched in with 63 runs as the Proteas dodged the rain to rack up an imposing tally of 205 for five.

Paceman Anrich Nortje (4-10) took up where the batsmen let off with three top-order wickets, including that of dangerman Shakib Al Hasan for one, and Bangladesh were 66-5 after 10 overs and all out for 101 after 16.3.

"To score a hundred in a winning cause is fantastic," said Rossouw.

"Very chuffed with my performance today but more important is we got the two points," he added.

Having been robbed of a likely victory in their abandoned Super 12 opener by the rain in Hobart on Monday, South Africa again contended with the elements after winning the toss and choosing to bat in their second Group 2 contest.

After the early afternoon showers cleared, Bangladesh paceman Taskin Ahmed removed skipper Temba Bavuma in the first over but that only brought Rossouw and de Kock together to wreak their havoc.

Taskin's second over went for 21 runs and the South African pair had put on 60 by the time the rain returned to force a break just before the end of powerplay.

The innings stalled after De Kock holed out in the deep and Rossouw had a nervous moment when he was dropped on the boundary on 88 before reaching the century mark with a single off the 52nd delivery he faced.

The South Africans finished poorly after the early fireworks and Shakib finally winkled out Rossouw when the batter looped a delivery to Litton Das in the covers.

Bangladesh, roared on by the majority of the crowd, made a bright start to their innings but backing up their maiden win in the second round of the T20 World Cup on Monday always looked a big ask.

Litton top-scored with 34 but South Africa spinner Tabraiz Shamsi took 3-20 to keep the wickets tumbling and Nortje returned to complete the rout by clean bowling Taskin.

T20 World Cup: Ton up for Rossouw as South Africa rout Bangladesh by 104 runs

Rilee Rossouw and Quinton de Kock were the star performers as South Africa cruised to victory against Bangladesh in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2022 on Thursday. While de Kock was dismissed for 63, Rossouw went on to score a brilliant hundred (109 off just 56 deliveries).

The Proteas lost their first wicket in the first over of the innings when Temba Bavuma was dismissed cheaply. However, De Kock and Rossouw stitched together an impressive 168-run partnership for the second wicket to take South Africa to a mammoth total of 209 for the loss of five wickets.

This was the highest partnership for any wicket in T20 World Cup history. The record previously belonged to the Sri Lankan duo of Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene who added 166 runs for the second wicket against West Indies during the 2010 edition of the tournament.

When it comes to South Africa, the highest partnership for any wicket came way back in 2007. The duo of Herschelle Gibbs and Justin Kemp added 120 runs for the third wicket against West Indies.

On the individual front, Rossouw also became the second batsman ever to score consecutive hundreds in T20Is. The only other player to achieve this feat was France's Gustav McKeon.

"To score a hundred in a winning cause is fantastic," Rossouw told reporters after the match.

Rilee Rossouw and Quinton de Kock break 12-year-old T20 World Cup record against Bangladesh

India faced South Africa in the third and inconsequential T20I, at the Holkar Stadium in Indore, on Tuesday evening (October 04). After taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, with a 16-run win in the second and penultimate encounter, Rohit Sharma-led India asked South Africa to bat first.

Temba Bavuma's SA rode on Rilee Rossouw's 100 not out to post 227-3. In reply, India only managed 178 in 18.3 overs to lose by 49 runs and win the series 2-1. Post the encounter, head coach Rahul Dravid addressed the media and was asked by a reporter&nbsp;why Axar Patel -- who was the Player-of-the-Series in the Australia home T20Is -- bowled only a single over in the Indore face-off. To this, Dravid maintained his calm but gave a blunt reply.

"Match-ups are important, there are important to us. Whether they are more important or not, it's for you guys to dig deep and look at what stats tell you about some match-ups, about numbers of left-hand batsmen against left-arm spin. Maybe, you find them answers in that.

"A lot of teams use match-ups, not only us. Like us, I am sure other teams delve into stats and look into numbers. Think if you delved into some of those numbers, you might get answers. I would really request you to look into those numbers, deeply. As deeply as we do," Dravid said.

India refrained from bowling Axar in the middle and took him out of the attack during the Rossouw-Quinton De Kock 90-run second-wicket stand. With two left-handers batting in the middle, on a ground&nbsp;whose boundaries range between 55-65 metres, it would've been suicidal for Axar to be bowling at that moment. On a small ground, with in-form David Miller, still to come out to bat, Axar didn't return to the bowling attack and ended with match figures of 1-0-13-0.

South Africa produced a dominating performance to thrash India by 49 runs in the third and final T20I of the three-match series at the Holkar Cricket Stadium, here on Tuesday. With the win in the first two T20Is, India won the two-match series 2-1. A scintillating maiden T20I hundred century from Rilee Rossouw (100 not out off 48) and a fine fifty by Quinton de Kock (68 off 43) powered South Africa to 227/3 in 20 overs, after being invited to bat first. 
 
Apart from Rossouw and De Kock, Tristan Stubbs (23 off 18) and David Miller (19 not out off 5) also played valuable knocks for South Africa, who were also helped by India`s sloppy fielding. Umesh Yadav (1/34) and Deepak Chahar (1/48) were the wicket-takers for India. Chasing a big total, India scored at brisk rate for majority parts of their innings but kept losing wickets at regular intervals. The likes of Dinesh Karthik (46 off 21), Rishabh Pant (27 off 14) got starts but couldn`t convert them into big innings.
