SIX or OUT? WATCH Steve Smith catch at boundary line that sparked controversy

The 3rd T20I between England and Australia saw a controversial decision in favor of the Australians that went viral in the social media. The series was already wrapped up by England and their premium opener in Jos Buttler was given the permission to move out of the bio-secure bubble to meet his family and arrive in due time before the 1st ODI that begins on September 11th.
Australia won the toss and this time around they decided to bowl first on another interesting wicket that had grip and turn for spinners big time. England lost their young sensation in Tom Banton to Josh Hazelwood in the 2nd over of the match and Australians were top notch with their line and length and didn’t allow the England batters to score freely.

Steve Smith catch to dismiss Moeen Ali

England were trying to accelerate towards their fag end of their innings and their stand-in captain Moeen Ali tried to smack Mitchell Starc for a massive six over deep mid wicket but Steve Smith who was stationed at exactly the same spot managed to grab the ball from the air but the important thing to note is a part of Steve Smith‘s shoes seemed to touch the boundary line but the 3rd umpire had no issues in ruling it out. It is also to be noted that, in another angle, Steve Smith’s shoes didn’t touch the boundary rope and the controversial decision went in favor of the fielding side

Disappointing T20I series for Steve Smith

One of the best batsmen in the world in this generation in Steve Smith managed to score just 31 runs in this 3 match T20I series at an average of a little over 10 runs per game. He looked in good nick in the 2nd T20I before getting run out courtesy a brilliant direct hit from Eoin Morgan.
Steve Smith will be hoping to revive his form in the ODI series and will be hungry to showcase his skills. The first of the 3 match ODI series begins on 11th of September in Manchester.
