A major controversy erupted during India's match against New Zealand in the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 on Friday. NZ batter Amelia Kerr played the final delivery of the 14th over to long-off and went for a single.

However, while Harmanpreet at long-off thought that the ball was dead, Kerr decided to go for a second run and was actually run out before completing the double.

However, by that time, the umpire had already given the cap back to Deepti Sharma and signalled the end of play. While India appealed for a run out and even Kerr made her way back to the dugout, the umpires decided that the ball was dead and as a result, the run out was not valid.

Harmanpreet was left fuming by the decision and she was caught on camera having an animated chat with the umpires before play was ultimately resumed.
