Watch: Jhulan Goswami's Ball Hits Middle Stump But England Batter Nat Sciver Survives

England defeated India by four wickets in the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup and this helped the Heather Knight-led side register their first win of the tournament. However, an incident in the 5th over of England innings featuring Jhulan Goswami and Nat Sciver got the cricket fans talking. In the 5th over of England's chase, Jhulan bowled a deadly inswinger which got the inside edge of Sciver's bat and hit the middle stump, but the bails showed stubbornness and they did not fall, helping Sciver to extend her vigil at the crease.

The Indian players could not believe their luck as the ball had a fair amount velocity when the hit the stumps.
