The 8th edition of the Abu Dhabi T10 League is underway, and it has already given some incredible moments in the first couple of days of its start. But on Friday, a moment caught the attention of the whole world. It happened in match no. 5 between Morrisville Samp Army and New York Strikers, which took place at Sheikh Zayed Stadium.

It was the fourth over of the second inning when Samp Army were defending 136 runs. Pacer Hazrat Bilal gave a no-ball, which raised the eyebrows of everyone. A bowler bowling no-ball is quite normal in a pressure situation, but it was a massive no-ball, which was the reason that it became a talking point among fans.

Bilal bowled the ball to Asif Ali. He tried to ball a short ball, and the batter ticked it towards the fine leg for a single. However, when the reply was shown on the big screen, everyone was amazed. His foot was not close to line and was even a foot out of the crease.

As the video of that delivery went viral, many fans on various social media platforms claimed it was a matter of spot fixing. That incident gathered various reactions on social media platforms. Some fans recalled the incident of Lord’s when Pakistan’s Mohammad Amir bowled a no-ball against England and was later found guilty of spot fixing.

However, Bilal’s teammates and opposition players, including Sunil Narine and Faf du Plessis, could not control their laughter after watching the reply. Speaking of the game, Samp Army were able to defend the total successfully. The New York Strikers managed 99/7 in ten overs and lost by 36 runs. Du Plessis scored an unbeaten 75 off 32 balls with five fours and six sixes. He was named Man of the Match for his performance.
