Jon Lewis, the head coach of UP Warriorz, admitted that the dismissal of Chamari Athapaththu was frustrating and proved to be the turning point in the contest against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Monday (March 4).

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 Smriti Mandhana, the RCB skipper, opted to take a review.

However, ball tracking projected the ball to be heading straight, going on to hit the middle stump. Not only did it leave Alyssa Healy, the UP Warriorz captain batting at the other end, in disbelief wherein she was seen telling the umpire ‘No way’, but also surprised the RCB players.
