Windies U19 created a stir after South Africa U19 batsman Jiveshen Pillay was given out for obstructing the field.

The incident that occurred in the 17th over of the first innings when Pillay, after defending the ball, turned back to stop it from rolling onto the stumps and then proceeded to pick it up and pass on to the wicketkeeper. However, Windies U19 keeper who is also the captain, Emmanuel Stewart, let out a light appeal that brought the on-field umpires together before Pillay was adjudged out by the third umpire.

The decision taken is on the basis of ICC's law 37.4 which states - Either batsman is out Obstructing the field if, at any time while the ball is in play and without the consent of a fielder, he uses his bat or any part of his person, including a hand not holding the bat, to return the ball to any fielder.
