Though Amelia Kerr was not any huge impact player with her batting, she was sure the centre for controversy during the innings of New Zealand as she got called back after being ran out.
  On the final ball of 14th over, Amelia hit a shot towards long-off where Harmanpreet Kaur took the ball. As they scored a single run, Sophie went for a second run, but Harmanpreet made a throw towards the striker's side and caught her short of the crease. She got run out and started walking back to the dugout, but the decision by the umpires to call her back led to controversy. After India faced a 58-run-loss, Jemimah Rodrigues questioned the umpires as the ball had to be in either the bowler or wicketkeeper's gloves before it being considered dead. 'New Zealand were pretty sure that it was a double run and Amelia Kerr went out which showed that the over was not called yet and we all thought that, okay, we got that run-out,' Jemimah said in the post-match press conference. 'I mean, what if that run out wouldn't have happened? Would they give [New Zealand] two [runs] for that?' 'Honestly, that was not in our control. At the end, we respect the decision of the umpire and we were okay with that. But, yeah, it's a bit harsh. When Amelia Kerr herself walked out because she knew she was out.' 'We know how important Amelia Kerr's wicket is and yes, at that moment it felt like why didn't [the decision] go in our favour. But at the same time, I think we did what we can. We spoke to the umpire, and then we had to accept their decision and move on. So, I think that's what we did really well, that we just moved on from that and I think we got her out pretty soon [anyway], so it worked out for us,' she added.
