The first semi -final match of the Champions Trophy 2025 is being played between India and Australia. In this match being held in Dubai, it seems like Australia batsmen have descended with luck. We are saying this because a very surprising incident was seen during the match. Actually, Kangaroo team captain Steve Smith was on the plaid. He tried to defense on the last ball of the 14th over against Akshar Patel. But the pad started on the ball stumps. Despite this, he escaped from being out. He was not given out due to a rule of ICC.

What is the ICC rule?

Before knowing the ICC rule, they know why Smith was not out.

Actually, after Smith's play, the ball slowly rolled and hit the off-stump. Here luck supported Smith and the bell did not fall. Because of this, Smith was not given out. Now let us know what the ICC rule says. In fact, under Law 29 of MCC, at least one vine is required to be completely withdrew to dismiss any batsman. If this does not happen, it is necessary to uproot at least one stump completely from the ground. Only then the batsman will be considered out. Both things did not happen in Smith's turn.
