Mumbai: In one of the rarest of cases, the third umpire has reversed his own decision during the UP Warriorz versus Mumbai Indians encounter in the ongoing Women’s Premier League (WPL) on Sunday at the Brabourne Stadium.
The incident happened on the fifth ball of the fifth over during the Mumbai Indians innings. Sophie Ecclestone bowled a slider and the ball dipped at the last moment, nearly ending up as yorker. Hayley Mathews tried to go for a flick but had to face the bat straight at the last moment to block the ball.
From a normal eye, it clearly looked that the ball hit the bat first after before hitting the boot. Ecclestone went for the appeal and convinced Alysa Healy to go upstairs.
However, to everyone’s surprise, television umpire, Chirra Ravikanthreddy, gave Matthews out stating that the ball has hit the boot first as ball tracking proved that it is going to hit the middle stump.
The Mumbai Indians opener was left into disbelief and didn’t move out of the ground. She had a chat with Healy and Ecclestone and asked the on-field umpires to have another go at the replays.
Ravikanthreddy had a long look at the replays this time and reversed his decision to not out. Meanwhile the poor decision-making from Ravikanthreddy didn’t go down well with the netizens.
Here are some of the tweets.

UPW took DSR and third umpire gives out but matthews challenge the decision and takes DSR and third umpire changes it to not out. Whose mistake it is?? The one who shows the video or umpire.

However, Matthews didn’t last long as the all-rounder gave a simple return catch to Sophie Ecclestone to be out for 17.
