On Tuesday, the match between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians was played in the Women’s Premier League 2026. Lizel Lee’s stumping out in this match has become a cause of huge controversy. Lizel Lee also expressed her displeasure with the decision of the third umpire. Her wicket was very important from the point of view of Delhi team, because she was out after scoring 46 runs. In this match, Mumbai Indians had set a target of 155 runs for Delhi Capitals.
This incident is of the 11th over of Delhi Capitals’ innings, in which Amanjot Kaur was bowling for MI. The third ball was wide, which Lizel Lee tried to move forward and take to the leg side. But he missed the ball and wicketkeeper Rahila Firdous scattered the wickets.
When the side angle was shown in the replays, it seemed as if Liezel Lee’s bat had rested on the ground before the balls scattered. But when the front camera angle was shown, the bat was seen in the air. Seeing this angle, third umpire Ajitesh Argal declared the Delhi Capitals batsman out. But controversy has arisen due to the third umpire ignoring the side angle.
Liezel Lee looked very angry with the decision of the third umpire and was also seen arguing with the ground umpire for a long time. He played an inning of 46 runs in 28 balls. Social media has also been divided into two groups regarding this run out.
Reaction on social media
A fan reacted to Lizelle Lee’s run out, saying that she was wrongly given out because the third umpire probably forgot to check her foot, which was above the white line. While someone said that this decision was an example of partiality. It is also being claimed that Lizel Lee’s bat first rested on the ground and then came into the air again.

There’s no way Lizelle Lee was out — that was clearly a biased decision.
