AUS-W vs SA-W: The umpire made a big mistake
AUS-W vs SA-W: Batsman Sune Luus tried to play a sweep shot on the last ball of the 24th over of South Africa’s innings. But the ball slipped from under his bat and hit his front foot pad. The onfield umpire declared it not out. But the Australian team took review.
When the third umpire checked, ball tracking revealed that the ball was outside the line of off-stump. After which the third umpire asked the onfield umpire to stick to his decision. But onfield umpire Claire Polosak made a mistake and raised her finger, after which she realized her mistake and laughingly gave the signal of not-out.
Seeing this foolishness of umpire Claire Polosak, Australian players could not stop themselves from laughing. Sune Luus returned to the pavilion in the 26th over against Ashley Gordner after scoring 19 runs in 33 balls.
