A bizarre incident took place during the 3rd ODI between Australia vs South Africa Women’s ODI at the North Sydney Oval in Sydney when Australia’s Alana King hit a six on the leg side and ended up hitting her stumps in the follow-through. However, she was not deemed out as the square-leg umpire signaled it was no-ball for height which added salt to the wounds of Masabata Klaas in 48th over of the innings. King also managed to hit the following ball which was a free hit for another maximum. King coming down the order contributed with a handy 17 helping Australia’s score to get to 277/9 from 50 overs. Middle-order batter Beth Mooney was the top scorer of the innings with 82 runs. Masabata Klaas was also the pick of the bowlers with four wickets for South Africa.

After guiding Australia to a 2-0 series win over the West Indies at home, stand-in skipper Steve Smith has come out in the support of teammate David Warner, who recently withdrew the bid to overturn his lifetime leadership ban in Australian cricket.

Giving up his appeal against the Australian captaincy ban, Warner slammed the review process and said that he is not prepared for his family to be the washing machine for cricket’s dirty laundry. Warner’s teammate and star batter Smith was asked about the epic saga of the veteran Australian opener following Australia’s comfortable win over the West Indies in the 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday.
