Australia Women are currently at the second spot with four points after this win

Speaking of the video, the incident took place during the 19th over of Australia’s innings. Lucy Hamilton and Amy Smith were batting. While Rashmi Nethranjali was bowling. On the sixth and final delivery of that over, Hamilton hit the ball to the long-off and took a single. Then, she was looking for a two but never started a run. 

But, when the Sri Lankan fielder, Dulanga Dissanayake hit the stumps from the boundary rope the bowler was seen blocking Hamilton. As a result, when the ball hit the stumps, she was out of the crease. Hence, the umpire gave her out though it was controversial. Such a decision left all fans surprised and shocked. Thus, Hamilton got out after scoring 22 runs off 11 balls, including two fours and one six. 

Speaking of the match, Australia Women scored 159 runs for five wickets in 20 overs. Ella Hayward was the highest scorer with 36 runs off 31 balls, including five boundaries. For Sri Lanka Women, Rismi Sanjana took two wickets for 30 runs in four overs. In reply, Sri Lanka Women got bundled out for just 51 runs in 13 overs. For Australia, Lucy Hamilton and Maggie Clark took two wickets each. Apart from them, the other five bowlers also managed one wicket each in the match.
