A furious India ladies’s captain Harmanpreet Kaur didn’t mince phrases in criticising the umpiring throughout the tied third ODI towards Bangladesh on Saturday, terming it “pathetic”. India have been bowled out for 225 in 49.3 overs after Bangladesh posted their highest whole within the 50-over format towards India, scoring 225/4 batting first with Fargana Hoque (107) recording the first-ever ODI century for her nation. India opener Smriti Mandhana scored 59 on the high whereas middle-order batter Harleen Deol made 77, however India collapsed from 191 for 4 to 225 all out, shedding the final six wickets for a mere 34 runs and needed to accept a tied three-match ODI sequence 1-1.
“I think (there is) a lot of learning for us from the game. Even apart from the cricket, the kind of umpiring that was happening, we were very surprised. The next time we come to Bangladesh we will make sure we have to deal with this type of umpiring and prepare ourselves accordingly,” Harmanpreet informed the broadcaster after the match.
India’s final pair of Jemimah Rodrigues (33 not out) and Meghna Singh (6) took the crew near win, however a contentious caught-behind resolution towards the latter appears to have added to India’s woes.
Both Jemimah and Meghna appeared sad with the caught-behind resolution.
The India captain lashed out on the on-field umpires Muhammad Kamruzzaman and Tanvir Ahmed — each locals — by terming their umpiring as “pathetic”.
Harmanpreet mentioned, “They (Bangladesh) batted really well, batted according to the situation. They were taking those singles which were very crucial. In between, we leaked a few runs but we controlled the game very well when we were batting, but as I mentioned earlier, some pathetic umpiring was done.
“We are actually dissatisfied about some selections given by the umpires,” said the India captain, who hit the stumps with her bat in frustration and gestured towards the umpire when she was adjudged out leg-before for 14 off Nahida Akter.
The India captain praised Harleen Deol for her 77, which came off 108 balls with nine fours.
“She appeared very promising within the final sport, so we promoted her to bat freely and he or she took the chance with each fingers. Jemi (Jemimah) was actually good all through the innings. She performed effectively,” she said.
“(It was a) good sport, (a) lot of studying and lastly our High Commission from India can also be there and I hope you may have invited him right here, however that can also be wonderful. And thanks sir for coming right here,” the India captain told the host broadcaster.
Bangladesh had earlier recorded their first-ever ODI win against India in the first match when they won by 40 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method, but the visitors bounced back to defeat the hosts by 108 runs in the second game.
