'Bizarre'

#WPL2023 #Eliminator

One of the leading catchers of the tournament thinks she has pulled off a really impressive catch in the outfield. But the third umpire thinks otherwise..

Did it even touch the ground? I don't think so. Bizarre decision.https://t.co/KPTfuQ0MPM pic.twitter.com/fdxgOnvvhl

Fair Catch

Anjali Sarvani catch was a fare one. Kudos to #upwarriorz to get on with the game & keep their head down. We can have any number of debates once game is done. #WPL2023 #mivsup

'Odd Decision'

That was an odd decision, taken neatly by Sarvani. But luckily for UPW, Matthews is gone and it's not cost them too much. https://t.co/XKZyGvHJQo
