In the Perth Test, it was believed that Australia would have the advantage. But, when the match began, reality was contrary to expectations. One team dominated, but it was not Australia but the Indian team. Now Australia is in danger of suffering a major defeat. However, this would not have happened if hosts Australia had not been penalized 110 runs. The injury caused by this penalty has pushed him to defeat in Perth. Of course, you have to wonder when and how the Australian team was fined in Perth. In reality, the sanction was imposed for the mistake Australia made in the live match at the Perth ground.
When did Australia make a mistake in a live match?
The incident took place in the 41st over of India’s second innings. Mitchell Starc was bowling and Yashasvi was on strike. On Starc’s fifth ball, the ball took the edge of the bat and went to Usman Khawaja standing in the slips. But Khawaja let that trap fall. Australia suffered the penalty for this error in the match and were again awarded a 110-run penalty.
