The Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA) has lodged an official complaint with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over an alleged scoring error that it claims cost the state’s women’s U19 team a place in the T20 Championship quarter-finals against Uttarakhand. JSCA has sought the BCCI’s intervention, alleging that a run was not credited due to a scoring mistake, with Jharkhand eventually losing the pre-quarter-final by just one run. The error occurred in the final over of Jharkhand’s chase of 135 against Uttarakhand in Nagpur last week, according to ESPNcricinfo. Jharkhand were 127/7 at the end of the 19th over and required eight runs from the final six deliveries.
The Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA) has made an official complaint to the BCCI over an alleged scoring error that cost the women’s U19 team in the T20 championship pre-quarter-final against Uttarakhand.
The team collected three runs from the first three balls, leaving them needing five runs from the last three deliveries. “Had this been a league game, the situation may have been different. For players in particular, tournaments like these are extremely important. We even reviewed the video of the final over within the team before lodging a complaint, and it was very clear that the scorers had made a mistake. We immediately brought it to the attention of match referee Anupa Narvekar after the presentation,” he added.
“We hope the matter will be looked into so that we can prevent such errors again.
“This was the first time Jharkhand had qualified for the knockouts of the Women’s Under-19 tournament, so the result is extremely disappointing,” Jaskaran said, as quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
