During the ICC Men’s T20I World Cup match, Oman put up a strong challenge against Australia in Bridgetown, Barbados, led by Mitchell Marsh. An amusing incident occurred when Oman’s bowler Kaleemullah playfully sent off Australia’s David Warner with a ‘kick’. Following this, Warner almost mistakenly headed towards the incorrect dressing room in a light-hearted moment during the game.
Oman’s Tough Fight to Australia:
Oman applied significant pressure on Australia during the initial part of their innings. At one point, Australia found themselves at 62/3 after 12 overs. The momentum shifted when Marcus Stoinis unleashed a powerful performance in the final few overs, propelling the Australian team forward.
In addition to Stoinis, David Warner played a crucial role in Australia’s innings. The opener had a noteworthy performance during the match. Initially, Warner faced challenges in scoring boundaries but displayed patience and did not lose his wicket. His steady presence at one end allowed Stoinis to aggressively attack from the opposite end without hesitation, contributing significantly to Australia’s batting performance.
David Warner’s Crucial Innings For Australia:
David Warner scored 56 runs off 51 deliveries, achieving the milestone of becoming Australia’s leading run-scorer in T20Is. Warner surpassed the previous record held by former captain Aaron Finch. Interestingly, Finch was present in the commentary box when Warner surpassed his record during the match.
Aaron Finch, who partnered with Warner as an opening batsman for a long time, was spotted waving to his ex-teammate from the commentary box. In a friendly gesture, Warner responded by raising his hand and smiling back at Finch. Warner has now accumulated 3155 runs in 104 T20Is, surpassing Finch’s total of 3120 runs in 103 T20Is.
Kaleemullah’s Disrespectful Gesture Towards David Warner:
Shortly after, David Warner was caught out by Kaleemullah’s delivery as he attempted to hit a boundary over the long-off area. The dismissal held significant importance for the Oman bowler, who expressed his excitement with a spirited celebration. Kaleemullah let out a loud roar and gestured towards Warner with a kick as the Australian batsman walked back towards the dressing room.
The unfolding drama continued as Warner, after his dismissal, began walking off the field but headed towards the wrong dressing room. The left-handed batsman mistakenly ascended the stairs leading to the Oman dressing room before realizing his error halfway through. Warner promptly turned around and redirected himself towards the correct Australian dressing room.
