A controversial run-out during Australia’s blowout win over Sri Lanka in the women’s T20 World Cup under-19 raised eyebrows, with footage of the incident circulating on social media platforms on Wednesday.
In Australia’s 19th innings at Benoni’s Willowmoor Park in South Africa, teenage Lucy Hamilton slapped a full delivery from Sri Lankan spinner Rashmi Nesranjally heading into the long off.
Hamilton considered rushing for a second run, but turned back after choosing to stick with a single.
