ICC Womens T20 World Cup, 2024: The fourth match of the ongoing Women’s T20 World Cup is being played today, Friday, October 4, between India and New Zealand at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Let us tell you that a big controversy has been seen in this match, the video of which is going viral very fast on social media.
Let us tell you that this incident was seen in the 14th over of New Zealand’s innings. On the last ball of this over bowled by Deepti Sharma, Amelia Kerr was run out and going to the pavilion due to taking the second run. But after this the onfield umpire called Kerr back on the field.
After this, Indian captain Harmanpreet started talking to the onfield umpire as to why it was not a run-out. Indian coach Amol Majumdar was also seen discussing with the third umpire standing on the boundary line. After giving not out to Kerr, Indian captain Harmanpreet looked very angry and due to discussion between the captain and the umpire, the game had to be stopped for some time.
But the umpire had already declared this ball a dead ball, because Deepti had taken the cap from the umpire after completing her over. Therefore, the umpire said that even if this run had happened, it would not have been considered. But, because of this, a lot of controversy was seen on the field.
Watch the viral video of this incident
2 scenarios:
1st: Batter intention was for run, should be declared out.
2nd: Umpires called OVER! 1 Run would not have been awarded even if they had completed. So a Not out. #Harmanpreetkaur as usual🔥🔥. #Ameliakerr anyways dismissed in next over!!!#INDvsNZ pic.twitter.com/Jadhq3NYk5
