New rule came regarding DRS

New Delhi:

Women's Premier League

(WPL 2023) 

first season is being played in Mumbai.

Three matches were played in the first two days and all the three matches were excellent.

The score crossed 200 in the opening match of the tournament played between Mumbai and Gujarat, while on the second day also the score crossed 200 in the match played between Delhi and Bangalore.

The special thing is that in both the matches, the team that won the toss had to face defeat.

On the other hand, the Gujarat team playing under the mentorship of Mithali Raj has lost two matches.

Meanwhile, a new rule has started in domestic cricket from WPL.

The rule is that now players will be able to take review even on no ball and wide ball.

It means that from now on any decision of the umpire can be challenged. Now that the rule has been made, the players have also tried it.

In fact, it was first used by Mumbai captain Harmanpreet Kaur in the opening match of the tournament played between Mumbai and Gujarat.

He challenged the umpire's decision in the very first match. 

The umpire had to be changed.


In fact, in the opening match played between Mumbai and Gujarat, in the 13th over of Gujarat's innings, when Saika Isaac was bowling, she bowled to Monika Pachel.

Monica wanted to play a pull shot but the ball was missed and the umpire called it wide.

This decision was challenged by Mumbai captain Harman and took DRS against Wide.

The third umpire saw in the review that the ball was touching Patel's gloves.

In such a situation, the field umpire had to change his decision.

This over was maiden by Saika Isaac.

In his spell, he took 4 wickets for 11 runs in 3.1 overs.
