India bemoan 'harsh' T20 World Cup run-out row

India star Jemimah Rodrigues described a run-out decision which went against her team as "harsh" as the Asian giants slumped to a shock defeat to New Zealand in the Women's T20 World Cup.

The Black Ferns won by 58 runs after making 160-4 before bowling out India for 102 as they ended a 10-match losing streak.

There was controversy in the 14th over of the New Zealand innings when India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur ran out Amelia Kerr with a throw from the deep to the wicketkeeper, who whipped the bails off. However, the umpire called the batter back because the ball had been declared 'dead' when the end of the over was called.

Kaur remained unhappy and had a long discussion with the umpires before grudgingly getting back to the game, but Kerr was out for 13, caught, two balls later in the next over.
