India's veteran cricketer Harbhajan Singh has called Australia batter David Warner's six off a delivery bounced twice against the sportsmanship. It was a rare incident when a batter dispatched the ball into the stands off a double-bounced delivery.
Warner scored 49 runs and laid the foundation of Australia's five-wicket victory over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup semi-final, as they qualify for the final to face New Zealand on November 14. His knock included 3 sixes and one of them came off a very bizarre delivery by Mohammad Hafeez which bounced twice before reaching him.
Speaking on the incident on his YouTube channel, Harbhajan agreed that the shot was within the rules, but he felt Warner could have avoided the hit to convey a good message.
"Though it was within the rules, it should not have happened. It doesn't convey a good message. We have also got a similar chance in the past but we didn't do that," he said.
Apart from Warner, Matthew Wade and Marcus Stoinis' unbroken 81-run partnership for the sixth wicket helped Australia chase down the target of 177 runs in 19 overs with 5 wickets in hand.
Wade remained unbeaten on 41 off 7 balls, while Stoinis scored 40* off 31 balls after Warner ensured they stay in the game with a well-paced innings.
