Pakistan batter Muneeba Ali was dismissed in a controversial manner during the Women’s World Cup 2025 clash against India.
Another India versus Pakistan clash on the global stage saw a controversy being triggered. The two teams squared off in the Women’s World Cup 2025 clash on Sunday, with the game producing some much-talked-about incidents. An unusual scene unfolded in the middle as Pakistan opener Muneeba Ali was run out in a bizarre fashion. Muneeba had wandered out of her crease, with a throw from Deepti Sharma hitting the stumps. The umpire decided to give the verdict in the Indian team’s favour, triggering a huge controversy that also saw the Pakistan captain take up the matter with the officials.
The incident happened on the last ball of the fourth over when Muneeba initially survived an LBW appeal off Kranti Gaud, as India chose not to review despite replays later showing three reds. Muneeba’s decision to wander out of the crease, however, cost her dearly.
Pakistan pacer Diana Baig, who attended the post-match press conference, was asked about the incident by a reporter. She decided to downplay it, saying whatever the issue was, it has been settled.
Reporter: Muneeba was run out, and the captain also raised some concerns regarding that incident. Has the management made any decision on this matter? Any comment on Muneeba’s run-out?
Baig: Muneeba’s run-out issue has already been settled, I believe. I don’t want to talk much about it now. Whatever happened and whatever the situation was, I think it has been resolved.
One of THE most bizarre passages of play.
Huge LBW appeal. Not given out.
Deepti throws (ofc she does), direct hit.
Muneeba grounded bat but was in the air when the stump was disturbed.
After ages, TV umpire says out.
Turns out, LBW would have been out. pic.twitter.com/8jAjUuXZR2
