Nonkululeko Mlaba 1-122(26.1 ov)
115.1
Mlaba to Richa Ghosh, out Lbw!! Richa Ghosh has been trapped in front but she opts for the review! Tossed up ball drifting in from round the wicket, pitches around leg-stump and turns in a bit, Richa Ghosh goes for the big sweep across the line but misses to get pinged on the pads. Time for the replays. Taking some time for UltraEdge to build up. There's a gap between bat and ball according to UltraEdge. Over to ball-tracking and it returns three reds - crashing into leg-stump. Richa Ghosh misses out on a genuine opportunity to score a well-deserved ton. Richa Ghosh lbw b Mlaba 86(90) [4s-16]
