WPL: Edwards questions umpiring calls as MI fall short against DC in controversial finish
New Indian ExpressVADODARA: Taking a dig at the controversial run-out decisions that played a big role in her team's last-ball, two-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians coach Charlotte Edwards said it was "really hard" to comprehend such calls that affect the eventual outcome of the match. Three controversial run-out decisions sparked a debate as Delhi Capitals edged past MI in a WPL match on Saturday, raising concerns over the interpretation of the LED stump rules. Third umpire Gayathri Venugopalan ruled three DC batters -- Radha Yadav, Arundhati Reddy and Shikha Pandey -- not out, seemingly disregarding the moment the LED stumps first lit up after the ball made initial contact with the wickets. The WPL 2025 rules state that a wicket is considered broken at the first frame when the LED stumps light up, but in all three cases here, the umpire made decisions based on a second frame when the bails were fully dislodged.
