Pakistan batter Muneeba Ali's run-out dismissal caused a massive controversy during the Women's World Cup match against India in Colombo on Sunday. The incident happened in the 4th over of Pakistan's innings when a direct-hit from Deepti Sharma ended Muneeba's stay at the crease. The ball from Kranti Gaud crashed into the batter's pads and although there was a loud appeal, India decided to not go for the review. However, Deepti completed the direct hit and replays showed that although Muneeba did make her ground, her bat was in the air when the bails were dislodged.
Pakistan captain Fatima Sana was not happy with the entire incident and she got into a heated argument with the fourth umpire.

Here's what the MCC Law says -
30.1 When out of his/her ground
30.1.1 A batter shall be considered to be out of his/her ground unless some part of his/her person or bat is grounded behind the popping crease at that end.
30.1.2 However, a batter shall not be considered to be out of his/her ground if, in running or diving towards his/her ground and beyond, and having grounded some part of his/her person or bat beyond the popping crease, there is subsequent loss of contact between the ground and any part of his/her person or bat, or between the bat and person.
The contrasting knocks of Harleen Deol and Richa Ghosh found ample support from the bowlers as India etched a commanding 88-run win over Pakistan in a drama-filled ICC Women's World Cup match.
Deol's composed 46 off 65 balls and Richa Ghosh's spirited 20-ball 35 lifted India to a competitive 247 on a sluggish track after the match referee erroneously ruled the toss in favour of Pakistan, who elected to bowl first.
Pacer Kranti Gaud (3/20) dismantled Pakistan's top order while the spinners cleaned up the middle-order and tail, bundling them out for 159, despite a valiant effort from Sidra Amin (81 off 106 balls).
With this win, India extended their perfect head to head record to 12-0 in ODIs.
