The game took place in Colombo, in which India registered an 88-run victory. The match was caught the attention of the fans due to a number of moments. The most notable among them was the run-out of Pakistani opener Muneeba Ali. After taking a run in Kranti Gaur’s over, Muneeba was looking towards the umpire when Deepti Sharma, standing at first slip, picked up the ball and threw it towards the stumps. The Indian players appealed, and the matter went to the third umpire. Initially, she was given not out. After some time, the third umpire watched the replay again. It was seen that when the ball hit the stumps, Muneeba’s bat was outside the crease. The TV umpire gave the decision of out, and Muneeba had to return to the pavilion. As Muneeba walked back, Pakistani captain Fatima Sana argued with the fourth umpire, but the decision was not changed. Meanwhile, in a viral clip from the Sunday match, Harmanpreet Kaur also responded to Nashra Sandhu’s death stare at her after every delivery. Let’s take a look at all of them. Read the moments and records of the IND-W Vs PAK-W match… 1. Due to the match referee’s mistake, India lost the toss
India lost the toss due to a referee’s mistake during the toss. When Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur tossed the coin, Pakistani captain Fatima Sana called tails. The coin landed heads. South African match referee Shandre Fritz mistakenly heard Sana’s call as heads. She declared Pakistan the winner of the toss. 2. India-Pakistan captains did not shake hands after the toss After the toss, Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur did not shake hands with Pakistan captain Fatima Sana. Earlier, in the Men’s Asia Cup, India captain Suryakumar Yadav also did not shake hands with Pakistan captain Salman Agha. The Indian team had also refused to accept the trophy from PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi. Because of this, the team had to return without a trophy even after becoming champions. 3. Harmanpreet out by Sidra Nawaz’s diving catch In the 25th over, India lost their third wicket. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur was out after scoring 19 runs. She was caught by wicketkeeper Sidra Nawaz off Diana Baig. Nawaz dived and leapt on the leg side, taking the catch. Viral video of Harmanpreet Kaur-Nashra Sandhu’s death stare contest In a viral video from India vs Pakistan Women’s ODI World Cup, while Harmanpreet Kaur was batting at 16, Pakistan bowler Nashra Sandhu gave the Indian batter a death stare after bowling the delivery. In response, Harmanpreet also gave a response, but it was not clear in the audio what she actually said. 4. Jemimah Rodrigues caught on a no-ball In the 27th over, Jemimah Rodrigues narrowly escaped getting out. She gave a catch to wicketkeeper Sidra Nawaz on Diana Baig’s fourth ball. The field umpire also gave her out. Before she could return to the pavilion, the third umpire declared that ball invalid because Baig’s ball was a no-ball. After that, Rodrigues also hit a four on the free hit. 5. Players troubled by pests, Pakistani captain used spray The game had to be stopped twice due to small insects on the field. The Pakistani captain used spray for the pests. 6. Richa’s catch dropped, and Parvez-Nawaz collided with each other Richa Ghosh’s catch was dropped in the last over of the Indian innings. Diana Baig bowled a short-pitched delivery outside the off-stump on the third ball of the over. Ghosh swung her bat at it and completely mistimed the ball. Wicketkeeper Nawaz called for the catch and ran to her right. She even managed to touch the ball with her glove, but due to colliding with Parvez, who was running in quickly from the backward point, Nawaz could not take the catch properly. On the first ball of this over, Richa hit a four with a reverse shot. 7. Muneeba Ali’s controversial run out On the last ball of the fourth over, there was a controversy over the run-out of Pakistan’s opener Muneeba Ali. On the last ball of the over, Kranti Gaur bowled an inswinger on a good length. The ball hit Muneeba’s pads, India appealed for LBW, but the umpire gave it not out. Muneeba was looking towards the umpire when Deepti Sharma, standing at first slip, picked up the ball and threw it towards the stumps. The third umpire saw in the replay that Muneeba had grounded her bat in the crease, after which the ball hit the stumps. The TV umpire gave the decision as not out. A little later, the third umpire watched the replay again, which showed that when the ball hit the stumps, Muneeba’s bat was outside the crease. The TV umpire gave her out, and Muneeba had to return to the pavilion. Pakistani captain Fatima Sana argued with the fourth umpire, but the decision was not changed. Meanwhile, even if Team India had taken a review for LBW, Muneeba would have had to return to the pavilion, as she was also out LBW. What is the rule? According to ICC’s run-out rule number 30.1.2, if a batter places the bat in the crease once while running or diving, and the bat then moves away from the crease or is in the air, and the ball hits the stumps, the batter will be given not out. However, if the batter is standing in the crease, they must keep their bat inside the crease until the ball hits the stumps. In Muneeba’s case, she was neither running nor diving. She was standing after placing the bat in the crease. Then, when the ball hit the stumps, she was outside the crease. For this reason, she was given out. 8. Richa Ghosh dropped Sidra Ameen In the 9th over, Sidra Ameen’s catch was dropped off Renuka Singh’s ball. Renuka’s length ball was coming inwards. Ameen tried to play a shot and got an edge. Wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh initially thought the ball would go to her right, but after the edge, the ball’s direction changed rapidly. She quickly adjusted herself and dived. The ball hit her wrist, and the catch was dropped. Facts and Records… 1.
