<p>India women's cricket team faced England in the third and final ODI, at Lord's, on Saturday (September 24) with a 2-0 lead in their kitty.

<p>Opting to bowl first, England dismissed India for a paltry 169. Smriti Mandhana (50) and Deepti Sharma's 68 were the only stand-out batting performances.

From thereon,&nbsp;Charlotte Dean (47) led her side's recovery&nbsp;before Deepti ran her out as the former kept leaving her crease at the non-striker's end at regular intervals. After resorting to the controversial dismissal, which is within the laws of the game, Deepti addressed the reporters after returning to India.</p>

<p>"It was a part of our plan because we had warned her and she was doing it again and again. Whatever we did was as per the rules. We had also told the umpire about it," Deepti told reporters after arriving in India.</p>

You know you are only supposed to dislodge one bail of the stumps. So, I think it is pretty baseless. I see no reason why a controversy should be there. It is very much within the laws.
