Steve Smith Survives DRS Review, Scores 71 in Australia vs Bangladesh Test
During the first Test between Australia and Bangladesh in Darwin, Steve Smith survived a caught-behind appeal after the Decision Review System (DRS) showed no clear edge. Smith, who believed he had nicked the ball, acknowledged he was lucky to continue and credited technology for saving him. He went on to score 71, the highest in Australia's innings of 198. Bangladesh's Hasan Mahmud took six wickets, contributing to Bangladesh's strong bowling performance on day one.
