I was discussing this with my friend earlier, we are not exactly sure what would happen.
Suppose the scores are level so the batting side needs 1 run to win. They have lost 9 wickets, so if the fielding side takes one more wicket the match will be a tie.
The bowler bowls a wide, but the batsman is stumped off it.
What would happen? Would it be a tie or would the batting side win?
I believe that the batting side would win; despite losing their last wicket, they also recieved the winning run. I think the match would be recorded as '*batting team* won by 0 wickets".
Anybody know the correct ruling in the situation? Or am I forgetting something simple?
