India A Penalised 10 Runs for Pitch Infringement Before Super Over Loss to Sri Lanka A

Officials said repeated running on the protected area led umpires to award Sri Lanka A 10 penalty runs under MCC Law 41.14.

  • On Monday, June 15, India A received a 10-run penalty during their Tri-Nation Series clash against Sri Lanka A at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium after Vipraj Nigam ran on the protected pitch area twice despite prior warnings.
  • Umpires enforced MCC law 41.14.3 after Nigam ignored warnings, with Anukul Roy receiving a final warning in the 31st over for similar conduct on the pitch's middle area.
  • This penalty meant Sri Lanka A began their chase with 10 bonus runs on the board, following two separate five-run penalties imposed during the first innings by on-field officials.
  • In a dramatic Super Over finish, Sri Lanka A defeated India A by 7 runs, marking the second consecutive loss for the star-studded India A side in the series.
  • Tensions remained high throughout the match, with players engaging in verbal spats and officials facing scrutiny over controversial decisions, including the legality of a run that extended the contest to the Super Over.
