IND W vs AUS W | Twitter in splits as Richa Ghosh rides emotional rollercoaster after getting out on no-ball

The margin of error for bowlers is very small in international cricket, and Tahlia McGrath realised it the hard way. The Australian Women’s vice-captain dismissed Indian wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh only to realise that it was a no-ball before conceding a six off the free hit.
The top three batters, including Harleen Deol, all got half-centuries, but a lack of significant contributions from the middle order meant the home side slipped from 142/1 to 207/4. Richa Ghosh joined Jemimah Rodrigues in the middle, with the pair having the dual responsibility of avoiding a collapse and taking India to a formidable total with 10 overs remaining.
Australian skipper Alyssa Healy introduced medium pacer Tahlia McGrath in the 43rd over, with Richa trying to take her on. Off the fourth delivery, the wicketkeeper-batter went for a full blooded pull only to find the ball safely in the hands of the fielder at backward square leg.
Just as she started her walk back, the saving beep sounded as McGrath had overstepped with Jemimah quickly signalling a no-ball and calling her teammate back. The agony and frustration made way to relief and smile as Richa took guard again for the free hit. It was the exact opposite in the Aussie camp as a stunning silence followed jubilations and joyous cheers.
To add insult to injury, Richa smashed the free hit from the Aussie vice-captain for a six down the ground. Just as she recovered from her horrors, another beep sound followed, with the resulting free hit going for a four.
Twitter was in splits as Richa was living her second life to the fullest and haunted the Aussies.
What a bad one for the bowler!

Harleen Deol at 3 makes no sense.
