Correct answer
B. Angelo Mathews
Explanation
In what would be the first-ever incident in a World Cup game and international cricket’s 146 year old history a batter was given timed-out. Sri Lanka’s Angelo Mathews was given out by the umpire for being late to face a ball after the fall of a wicket. According to the rules of cricket, the next batter, after the fall of a wicket, must be ready to face the ball within three minutes.
