Harmanpreet’s enraged umpires shout: Next time we come to Bangladesh | Cricket

The Indian women’s team faced a batting collapse in their final innings of 226 runs as the third and deciding ODI of the series against Bangladesh ended in a thrilling draw. India were in the driver’s seat for most of the run chase, with six wickets still in their possession in the 42nd over, with the team needing just 35 more to win the game and the series. However, the dismissal of Harleen Deol (77) triggered a batting collapse and although Jemimah Rodrigues remained unbeaten on 33, the side could not get past the finish line.

A few overs before the collapse, however, the controversial dismissal set social media abuzz, with Harmanpreet Kaur lashing out at being given leg before. The Indian captain went to the sweep bag against Nadia Akter but apparently failed to connect the bat; The umpire finally raised his finger after pleas and Harmanpreet hit the stumps in anger before arguing with the umpire.

After the result, Harmanpreet didn’t mince her words and called out the umpires for a furious rant during the post-match show. The Indian skipper called the umpiring pathetic and further insisted that the team prepares for poor umpiring standards the next time it travels to Bangladesh.

A lot to learn about this game, even apart from cricket. We were very surprised by the kind of refereeing that happened there. Next time we come to Bangladesh, we will make sure we deal with this kind of umpire and prepare accordingly, said Harmanpreet during the show.

They batted really well, given the situation. There were a few runs in between. When we came to bat, we controlled the game very well. But as I mentioned before, there was some pathetic refereeing and I was really disappointed with some of the decisions.

Harmanpreet also praised Jemimah and Harleen and made another big point while talking about the presence of the Indian High Commission.

He looked very promising in the last game, so we promoted him so he could hit freely. He grabbed the opportunity with both hands. Jemi was really good throughout the innings, his performance was decisive. It was a good game, a lot to learn.

Our high commission from India is here, I wish you could have invited him here, but that’s fine. Thank you for coming, sir, said the Indian skipper.
