The International Cricket Council (ICC) changed the scorecard of the warm-up match between India and South Africa on numerous occasions and as a result there was confusion about the outcome of the match. Earlier, the scorecard said South Africa beat India by four wickets, but half an hour later a scoresheet went viral on social media, suggesting India had won the match by two runs. Some time later, the ICC website also updated the scorecard, eventually showing India winning the match by two runs. South Africa needed eight runs to win in the final, but they only managed to score five and in the end India won the match by 2 runs.
At one point, the scorecard also suggested India had won the match by one point.
Previously, India posted 244 after being sent into bat by South African captain Sune Luus. Things went slow for the Mithali Raj-led side, Yastika Bhatia scored 58 points for India, while Harmanpreet Kaur scored a century.
