On the last delivery of the 11th over, Tariq cleverly paused in his run-up before delivering a full ball with a low release. Groen tried to clear halfway, but only succeeded in cutting the ball off the outside edge. Shadab Khan, stationed at backward point, completed a simple catch to end Green’s resistance.
While walking back to the pavilion, Green seemed unhappy with his dismissal and was seen imitating Tariq’s bowling action. At the dugout he continued to demonstrate the delivery to his teammates, clearly expressing his frustration at how he had been misled by the variation.
