India vs New Zealand Highlights, Women's World Cup 2024: New Zealand handed a big 58-run defeat to India at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Friday. Led by Sophie Devine’s 57 not off 36, New Zealand posted 160 for 4 in 20 overs against India after opting to bat first. Renuka Thakur Singh was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2 for 27. In reply, India were bundled out for 102 in 19 overs as Rosemary Mair returned figures of 4 for 19. A massive controversy erupted on the final ball of 14th over of the New Zealand batting. Amelia Kerr hit a Deepti Sharma delivery at long-off and completed a single. Harmanpreet Kaur collected the ball there. She didn’t throw it and started running towards the bowler as the umpire had called off the play for the over with the completion of that single. This is when Sophie Devine decided to turn it into a couple and ran for the second run. Harmanpreet quickly threw the ball at striker’s end and got Kerr out. It was adjudged not out by umpire eventually as the ball was dead. Harmanpreet was visibly unhappy with the decision. (Scorecard)
