India were denied a run out of Amelia Kerr after the umpires deemed the ball dead during the Women’s T20 World Cup clash. Here’s why it happened.
What was the incident?
Amelia Kerr was found short of her crease on the last ball of the 14th over while attempting a second run. Having pushed the ball towards long-off to Harmanpreet Kaur, Kerr and non-striker Sophie Devine took a single. After seeing Kaur still holding on after the run was completed, they ran for a second before Kerr was run out.
However, the umpires ruled it not out, stating that the ball had been dead after the first run. Replays also showed the umpire handing bowler Deepti Sharma her hat after the completion of the first run, suggesting they had called the ball dead and the second run would not count.
