Deepti Sharma’s presence of mind resulted in a cheeky dismissal by Sophie Devine during the sixth over of the 12th over. She was a little careless with her approach and Deepti was proactive enough to find her below the crease.

Deepti bowled a longer delivery, to which Devine came out of his crease and defended himself to the left of the bowler, but did not return to the crease. Deepti at first did not throw it, but when she saw that Devine had not returned to his crease, she threw it to the keeper immediately.

The bouncer, Yastika Bhatia, dislodged the bails, but Devine took a couple of steps back. Replays showed that Devine’s foot was not behind the stumps and, according to the rule, something must be behind the wickets before bails are removed.

The big screen loaded ‘OUT’, and Devine, who should have been prudent enough to reach his place on time, had to depart with a score of 2 in the sixth delivery of the 12th over. It was indeed a bad strategy on the part of Devine who is so experienced but credit must be given to Deepti for showing tremendous presence of mind to get a big wicket.
