INDW vs NZW: A very interesting incident happened in the Women's T20 World Cup match between India and New Zealand, in which Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur lost her temper and clashed with the umpire in the middle of the field. This case pertains to Kiwi batsman Amelia Kerr, who was run out in the 14th over, but was still called back by the umpires. Due to this, Harmanpreet got into an angry fight with the umpires, due to which the match was stopped for some time.
Deepti Sharma was bowling for India in the 14th over and on the last ball of the over, Amelia Kerr pushed the ball towards long off and tried to take a run. Meanwhile, when New Zealand players were trying to take the second run, Harmanpreet quickly threw the ball towards wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh. When Richa dived and ran out Kerr. When India was celebrating the run out, Kerr was also returning to the pavilion but then the umpire called Kerr back.
Harmanpreet was against this decision, so she angrily confronted the umpire. On the other hand, Team India's head coach Amul Majumdar was also confused as to what was happening. India's captain Harmanpreet, vice-captain Smriti Mandhana and the coach were also seen talking to the third umpire on this subject.
Amelia Kerr was out shortly after.
Amelia Kerr was recalled despite being run out on the last ball of the 14th over. But he could not get any special benefit from this gift of life. After just 2 balls, i.e. on the second ball of the 15th over, he was caught out by Pooja Vastrakar on the ball of Renuka Singh. He scored 13 runs on 22 balls.
