The incident took place in the 28th over with India going strong. Batting on 13, Harmanpreet stepped out of the crease and played a delivery straight back to bowler Frances Mackay. Then instead of promptly getting back to her crease, the apparently distracted player just stood glued to the spot.</p>
<p>
Mackay grabbed the opportunity and threw the ball directly to the wicketkeeper. Caught unawares, Harmanpreet dived back to regain her ground but the wicketkeeper beat her by a split second.</p>
<p>
India ended up losing the match in Queenstown by three wickets and New Zealand have gone ahead with an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match ODI series.</p>
