India had to win the match against South Africa to secure a place in the semi-finals in the ongoing ICC Women’s World Cup 2022. They ended up losing the match on the last ball of the innings, as South Africa chased down 275 with three wickets in hand. South Africa required three of the last couple of deliveries. Mignon du Preez, who was batting brilliantly on the personal score of 51, was on strike, while India’s talented all-rounder Deepti Sharma had the ball in hand.

The off-spinners fifth ball was tossed up on the off stump, and du Preez saw the chance to hit the winning runs. The South African charged down the ground, but hit straight to Harmanpreet Kaur at long-on. Despite holing out, the on-field umpire then gave du Preez and South Africa a lifeline by informing that Deepti Sharma overstepped by a thin margin.
