South African all-rounder Corbin Bosch has been reprimanded by the ICC after giving Ben Dwarshuis a send-off during Tuesday evening’s second T20 against Australia in Darwin.
The incident occurred during the 17th over of Australia’s run chase at Marrara Oval after Bosch bowled Dwarshuis for 12, with the 30-year-old pointing towards the changing rooms following the dismissal. Bosch finished with career-best figures of 3-20 from three overs as the Proteas cruised towards a commanding 53-run victory.

On Wednesday evening, Bosch was dealt a demerit point for breaching Article 2.5 of the ICC’s Code of Conduct, which relates to “using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon their dismissal during an international match”. The South African admitted the Level 1 offence and accepted the sanction.
With the series tied at 1-1, the third and final T20 between Australia and South Africa gets underway at Cairns’ Cazalys Stadium on Saturday evening at 7.15pm AEST.
Elsewhere, Australian all-rounder Mitchell Owen has been ruled out of the T20 decider along with next week’s ODI series due to concussion.
