Starc and Mehidy clash over pitch-running incident in Darwin Test
A heated exchange occurred between Australian pacer Mitchell Starc and Bangladesh's Mehidy Hasan Miraz during the Darwin Test match. The incident took place in the 103rd over of Bangladesh's innings, specifically during Starc's 21st over. Miraz hit the ball toward point and attempted a single, but appeared to run through the protected area in the middle of the pitch while following the ball. This prompted a verbal confrontation from Starc, who was visibly agitated by the infringement. Running through the protected pitch area is considered a violation under cricket's laws, as it can damage the surface and affect bowlers.
