Pakistan's fast bowler Diana Baig has confirmed that the confusion surrounding Muneeba Ali 's controversial run-out against India in Colombo has been resolved.
The Women's World Cup match between India and Pakistan on Sunday was marked by controversy. The unusual incident occurred during Pakistan's chase of 248 runs.
In the fourth over's final delivery, Indian players appealed for an lbw against Muneeba off Kranti Gaud's bowling, which the on-field umpire denied.
Muneeba had secured her position by grounding her bat behind the crease. Deepti Sharma then threw the ball from slip, hitting the stumps. At that moment, Muneeba lifted her bat without any part of her body behind the crease.
The third umpire's conflicting decisions displayed on the big screen created confusion among players and spectators. The initial verdict was not out, causing Indian players to return to their positions. The decision was then changed to out, surprising Muneeba and triggering celebrations among Indian players.
"Muneeba's run-out issue has already been settled, I believe. I don't want to talk much about it now. Whatever happened and whatever the situation was, I think it has been resolved," Diana stated after Pakistan's 88-run loss.
After being given out for 2 runs off 12 balls, Muneeba sought clarification from the on-field umpires. She paused while walking back after receiving instructions from the team dugout.
Muneeba remained on the field while Pakistan captain Fatima Sana discussed the situation with fourth umpire Kim Cotton. The captain then signaled Muneeba to leave, ending the several-minute delay.
The ICC Playing Condition 30.1.2 states: "However, a batter shall not be considered to be out of his ground if, in running or diving towards his ground and beyond, and having grounded some part of his person or bat beyond the popping crease, there is subsequent loss of contact between the ground and any part of his person or bat, or between the bat and person."
This incident caused significant discussion during the match between the rival teams. The controversy added another chapter to the intense cricket rivalry between India and Pakistan.
Muneeba's dismissal proved to be a crucial moment in the match. Pakistan struggled to recover from this early setback in their pursuit of India's target.
The match ultimately ended in India's favor with a significant margin of victory. This result further highlighted the impact of the controversial run-out decision on the game's outcome.
