UP Warriorz (UPW) skipper Alyssa Healy was in disbelief after her teammate Chamari Athapaththu was dismissed LBW in Match 11 of the WPL 2024 against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Monday (March 4).

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.

What baffled the Warriorz camp was that the ball travelled in the reverse direction of a conventional leg-spinner after being pitched on the leg.

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