The ball went straight to the fielder on the on side and he ran with the ball in his hands and dislodged the stumps at the striker's end. However, the batter was inside the crease at that end and the fielder threw the ball towards the non-striker's end.
Unfortunately, he missed the stumps from a close distance and the ball ran towards the boundary, where another fielder collected it and threw it towards the keeper. Till then, however, the batters had completed 5 runs and won the match for their team.
