That is really tough for India and I feel for them. They played brilliantly and that no ball decision must hurt. #AUSvIND

Tried my best to see if the no ball call was right. Picture on the left is Carey facing up for the last ball (waist blue line) Picture on the right is point of impact. Red line shows she is bent. Question is was the ball dipping enough? Plus my lines may not be exact science ??♀️ pic.twitter.com/MLq5fVfxhM
