New Delhi: The exciting twists and turns that take place during a cricket match add to its popularity. Anything can happen at any time. Perhaps that is why it is called the game of uncertainty. A view of this was seen on Sunday in the match played between UP Warriors and Mumbai Indians under the Women’s Premier League (WPL).
Two DRS taken on Mathews’s wicket
In fact, in this match, not once but twice such drama happened that cricket fans found it difficult to believe. The first drama happened with the wicket of Mumbai Indians batsman Hayley Mathews. Once UP Warriors took DRS for Mathews’s wicket and second time Mumbai Indians took DRS. The view of DRS over DRS was seen for the first time. Ultimately, Hayley Mathews survived the dismissal. MI captain Harmanpreet Kaur, on the other hand, also escaped being bowled after hitting the wicket.
The ball hit the stump, yet Harman survived
This scene was seen in the 11th over. Anjali Saravani bowled the third ball of this over to Harman, who was playing for 7 runs, then the captain tried to turn the ball going out towards the leg with the help of the wrists, but she missed and the ball hit the stumps and went back. Standing behind the wicket, captain Alyssa Healy started celebrating Harman’s wicket, but what? The players saw that the ball had gone out without scattering the gills.
