Hawkeye showed that the ball would have hit the stumps, leaving Healy perplexed.
During the seventh over of the run chase. Georgia Wareham bowled a tossed-up delivery that dropped in front of Athapaththu, who missed the sweep shot and was struck on the front leg.
The on-field umpire declared it not out but a confident RCB captain Smriti Mandhana opted for a review. The ball was pitched on the leg, and Hawkeye showed that it would have hit the stumps.
The ball-tracking technology left Athapaththu and Healy shocked as Wareham bowled a leg-spinner. According to the ball tracking system, the ball was pitched in line and would have hit the middle of the middle stump.

Healy was so furious by the DRS that she was seen repeatedly shouting ‘No way’ at the top of her voice.
