Controversy regarding run out
Something happened on the last ball of the 14th over of New Zealand's innings that a controversy arose. On the last ball of the over, Amelia punched Deepti Sharma's length ball towards long off and took a run. Harmanpreet caught the ball comfortably near the boundary and was slowly moving forward with it. Then he saw the New Zealand batsman running for the second run and he threw the ball straight to wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh. He handled the ball without making any mistake and took the wicket. The New Zealand batsman was heading towards the dugout when the third umpire stopped him. The whole controversy is about what happened next.
In fact the over was completed and when the ball reached Harmanpreet he was declared dead. When this incident happened after completing the over, Deepti snatched her cap from the umpire's hand. The throw came and Richa knocked down the stumps and India thought they were run out. The umpire had already declared it a dead ball, so New Zealand's second run was disallowed and not run out.
