The third umpire was fully appropriate to offer this Out.”The MCC offered further clarification about the kind of dismissal.“It is a Run out – though she was not trying a run, and it was not a No ball, the wicket was not damaged by the wicket-keeper with out the intervention of one other fielder – it was as a substitute a fielder who threw it. So the choice, accurately given by the umpires, is Out, Run out.”India posted a rating of 247 and dismissed Pakistan for 159 in 43 overs to safe a convincing victory.
