India’s cricket captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, made headlines for her heated conduct during the third and final Women’s ODI against Bangladesh at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka. In the 34th over of India’s innings, Harmanpreet attempted a sweep shot against Nahida Akter, but the ball seemed to miss the bat and hit her pads before lobbing off towards slip.

Bangladesh players appealed for LBW, and the umpire ruled her out. Frustrated by the decision, Harmanpreet Kaur smashed the stumps with her bat and gestured towards the umpire as she walked back to the pavilion. The Women’s ODI series between India and Bangladesh is currently tied at 1-1.
