The main cities secured a victory with two lean over Mumbaj Indians at the Cvambi stadium in Vadodari on Saturday, February 15th.

However, the match ended in controversy with three decisions in the last three additions. The TV judge Gayathri Venugopalan ruled all three as “not going out”, asking questions about the rules concerning LED guarantees. Her decisions seemed to be based on LED lights, not at the moment when Vitle broke down.
Shikha Pandey (in the 18th competent), Radha Yadav (19. Over) and Arundhati Reddy (on the final ball) were involved in controversial decisions. Former India captain Mithali Raj, who commented on the match, stated that at least two close calls were supposed to go in favor of the team in Mumbai.

Bat was never in the fold – mithali paradise
Mithali Paradise stated that Shikha Pandey’s bat on the line of the fold when he didn’t give her. She also added that the release of Radha Yadava should have been separated, because her bat was in the air and never took in the fold when the ice stumps lit.
“Pandey did not give it while the dough had a baton on the line,” Raj said as he spoke after the game at Jiohotstar, as quoted from ESPNCricinfo.
“When you dive and the stick hits the ground first [inside the crease] And then [bounces up] Because you have to dive completely, then it’s not outside. [But] From Radha Yadav we can see the blade of bats up. Nowhere is no part of the country touches [inside] folds [when the LED stumps light up]. That means it’s out. The bat was never in the fold. That’s pretty out, “she said.
What does the rule say?
The WPL 2025 playing conditions, according to Appendix D, mention that the release decisions should be judged when LED stumps are used.
The rule says: “If the LED Wikets are used (as foreseen in paragraph 3.8.1.5), the moment in which the Wickket was demolished (according to the provision 29.1), the first frame of the LED lights are illuminated and subsequent frames show that the guarantee is bail permanently removed from the top of the stump. “
After the match, co -owner Delhi Capitals Parth praised the third referee to remain assembled while making difficult decisions during the match against Mumbai Indians.
“Regardless of the result in the current WPL, I have to say hello to the 3rd judge, which is absolutely world-class class-to make such decisions and take over the reproduction of so many frames under so much pressure is the world class,” Jindal wrote.
