Armed Police Force (APF) womens cricket team rejected to play the final game of the 7th National Sports after the Umpire decision. On Tudesday, the APF team had played against Purwanchal to fight for the Gold medal in the tournament.
After rejecting to play further, the Purwanchal had been announced for the title as winner and APF even also rejected the silver medal. To win the title for APF, they need to score 9 runs of 9 balls with 2 wickets remaining to reach the target of 64 runs.
It all started in the 18th over when skipper of Purwanchal team Kabita Gautam was bowling to Ritu and was hit to the boundary but was saved by Apsara but was not in full control and the ball was near to the boundary. Apsara saved the boundary with the foot and had gone out of the boundary saving the ball. As she enters the ground and picks up and throws the ball towards wicketkeeper.
Umpire Pradhan asked the fielder Apsara whether the ball touches the rope or not? and the fielder replied, “the ball hadn’t touched”. Umpire then decides to announced to go with the fielder decision and then APF played two more balls and both were wide delivery. Then the APF players debated and leaves the ground saying, “Umpire and Purwanchal team are in good terms”.
Things turned out more bad when match officials announced Purwanchal Womens Cricket team as winner. Then the players of APF uses foul languages to the opponent team and leaves the ground. Even the senior member of Nepal Cricket Womens team Sita Rana Magar shows the middle finger to the opponent players and use the foul language. But the Purwanchal team remains silent and does not showed any bad behaviour after such incident.
