Meanwhile, Pakistan skipper Fatima Sana also couldn't believe it, and she had a chat with the fourth umpire on the boundary line. The fourth umpire explained the decision to Sana, and then Muneeba crossed the boundary line to leave.

Muneeba Ali's dismissal explained

According to MCC's article 30.1, "a batter shall be considered to be out of her ground unless some part of her person or bat is grounded behind the popping crease at that end.

"30.1.2 However, a batter shall not be considered to be out of her ground if, in running or diving towards her ground and beyond, and having grounded some part of her person or bat beyond the popping crease, there is subsequent loss of contact between the ground and any part of her person or bat, or between the bat and person."

As Muneeba wasn't running or diving, she was considered to be out of her ground and was given out.
