POBNEWS24, Dhaka, Mar 12, 2022 : No matter how many bad things happen on the cricket field. The umpire’s wrong decision is debated in almost every match. In the current girls ODI World Cup, the umpire’s mistake was seen this time – over the ball! However, bowler Omaima did not have to digest the four-six. Protea Batter was able to take only one single.
Pakistan girls invited South Africa to bat in the tournament on Friday. The Proteas were on the verge of a big innings with great batting from Sean Luce and Laura Wolverth. Captain Bismah Maruf handed over the ball to Omaima Sohail in the hope of breaking the tie. At the end of the over, Omaima was getting the wicket. That’s when the drama freezes.
Proteas captain Sean Luce has a strong leg-before appeal. But Luce survived the review. That was the last ball of the over. But the umpire probably forgot! So Omaima delivered the seventh ball. Luce pushed the ball to Longon and took a run. The Proteas made 223 for 9 with the help of Luce (62) and Ulvert (65). In reply, Pakistan lost by 7 runs.
