In what was Jhulan Goswami‘s farewell game , England player Charlie Dean was run out at the non-striker’s end by Deepti Sharma when the hosts needed just 17 runs off the final 38 balls in the 44th over of the innings.

This incident happened when Dean was participating in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint trophy, English women’s domestic ODI cricket competition. Dean, representing Southern Vipers was playing the final of the tournament against Northern Diamonds at the same venue where she was mankad by Sharma, the Lord’s cricket ground.

Linsey Smith of Northern Diamonds scored a single on her opening ball. In the second ball of the over, Dean stopped in her run-up, just as Smith was about to leave her crease. However, she she did not mankad Smith and the two players started laughing. Chloe Hill, the wicketkeeper for the Vipers, and Winfield-Hall, who was at the striker’s end, also could not contain their laughter.

Their partnership brought England to within 17 runs of the target, before she was mankad by Sharma. The dismissal again brought up ‘the spirit of cricket’ debate, with many players giving different opinions. Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, in the post match conference defended the Indian all rounder, and said,” Well, to be honest I thought you will be asking about the first 9 wickets, as they were not easy to take. It’s a part of the game, I don’t think we have done something new. It shows your awareness, what batters are doing. I will back my players, she hasn’t done something outside the rules. After the first game we discussed, we wanted to do really well, we have that much potential. We want to continue this kind of cricket.”
