Have you ever seen two DRS reviews on a single ball? This happened for the first time in a cricket match. On 12th March, the 10th match of the Women’s Premier League was played. In this match, UP Warriors faced Mumbai Indians.
UP Warriors won the toss and decided to bat first. Such an incident was seen during the match, which surprised all the fans and players. This incident happened during the batting of Mumbai Indians. The Mumbai batter got out on the same ball and then also got not out. The surprise decision came when both teams used DRS on the same ball.
During Mumbai Indian’s batting, DRS was taken twice on 1 ball, after which everyone was surprised. Actually, Hayley Matthews of Mumbai was batting. Meanwhile, a ball hit his bat pad, but the umpire declared it not out. After the bowler took DRS, the umpire changed the decision and declared the batter out. Unhappy with the umpire’s decision, Matthews again took DRS.
In the second review, the third umpire noticed that the contact of the ball was made with the bat first instead of the pad. The umpire once again changed the decision and declared it not out.
After this incident, questions about the umpire’s decisions arise. It has been seen many times in this tournament that the umpire’s decisions have been proved wrong. But in this incident, the third umpire changed his decision after two reviews, and this is one of the most bizarre incidents in cricket history. After this incident, DRS started trending, and fans raised big questions regarding umpiring.
Batting first, UP Warriors set a target of 160 runs in front of Mumbai. In response, Mumbai registered a big win by 8 wickets. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur scored a brilliant half-century for Mumbai.
However, Mumbai won by 8 wickets in the match against UP Warriors yesterday. This is Mumbai’s fourth consecutive win in the tournament. So far, Mumbai has not lost any match in this league.
