01.07.2023 - 09:15 sports.ndtv.com

New Zealand off-spinner Eden Carson achieved a bizarre record on Friday in the second women's ODI against Sri Lanka in Galle.

Carson, much to everyone's surprise, bowled 11 overs during the match. The on-field umpires and the match officials did not notice the error as Carson went on to give 41 runs in her 11 overs and bagged two important wickets.

Carson had completed her quota following the conclusion of the 45th over. However, a huge blunder saw her return to action in the 47th over.

Speaking of the match, New Zealand levelled the series with a dominant 116-run win and forced the decider. After opting to bat, New Zealand posted a mammoth total of 329/7 in 50 overs, thanks to centuries from captain Sophie Devine and Amelia Kerr.
