As the toss belonged to the Bengaluru side, captain Smriti Mandhana decided to field first in their second-last game of the league stage. Openers Georgia Voll and Grace Harris kicked off the innings on a high by attacking the new ball bowlers, followed by the spinners and medium pacers during the middle-overs phase. Despite Harris’ wicket due to a runout, Voll continued the attack and inched near the century mark as the innings progressed towards the final over. However, the attention quickly shifted to a fielding mishap, creating a social media buzz about the game.
On the second ball of the last over, Charlie Dean dished a fuller one at the stumps that Voll drilled towards long off for a single. But a fumble in the field from Sneh Rana there was followed by an erratic throw over Dean’s head, allowing the Warriorz duo to run for a double. The bowler did try to stop the ball with a leap but it went in vain. Subsequently, even the fielder backing up couldn’t make a neat throw, resulting in schoolboy errors in the field. The Twitterverse spotted this poor act from the visitors and buzzed around the social media network.
Lol!
