The match had plenty of talking points including Alyssa Healy's window car window-breaking shot and Smriti Mandhana's 80-run knock. However one of the highlights also featured Chamari Athapaththu's controversial decision that proved to be the turning point of the match according to Warriorz's head coach Jon Lewis.
What was the incident?
On the third ball of the seventh over, Athapaththu was hit on the pads while she attempted a sweep shot off Georgia Wareham. To the naked eye, it seemed as if the ball had turned away after pitching on a legstump line. Vrinda Rathi, the on-field umpire had declared it not out before Mandhana, the RCB skipper, opted to take a review.
However, much to everyone's surprise the ball tracking projected the ball to be heading straight, going on to hit the middle stump. This left everyone stunned in the opposition RCB camp as well while Warriorz skipper Healy even protested to the on-field umpire.
