In the ongoing second game of the Women's T20 League 2023 between Delhi and Bangalore, the use of technology mesmerized the fans. Apparently, in the last over of Delhi's innings, Jemimah Rodrigues hit a four on the ball. However, she had some doubts about whether the ball was going over her waist height. The umpires took help from the technology and found out that Rodrigues' back leg was collapsed.

This meant that the ball wouldn't have been called a no-ball anyway. Meanwhile, the ball tracker also showed that the ball was dipping towards the stumps. This meant that the India international didn't get a free hit on the next over. Meanwhile, the fans are divided in concern with the use of technology to check the waist height no-ball.

The duo put together 162 runs for the first wicket in 14.3 overs. Both scored a fifty each with Varma looking set to hit a hundred. However, she got out after scoring 84.

After they got out, the likes of Marizanne Kapp and Jemimah Rodrigues provided the finishing touches and helped the team reach 223/2.

In reply, after the good start from skipper Smriti Mandhana and Sophie Devine, the team has lost six wickets for 96 runs in 13 overs at the time of writing.
