Saw a clip on reddit Pakistan captain fatima sana cheated during toss. First she calls tails and heads won. Insted match refree declared pakistan winning toss. Bonkers from icc.

Halliday's giving us some much-needed impetus. She might not have been the one I'd pick to do that, but it's great to watch.

Geez Suzie Bates has had a fair decline hasn't she?

Much better from her today though. A golden duck is much better than her duck off 9 balls the other day.

Nah, she said heads, then the announcer said “heads is the call” and then it landed heads. Stop looking for trouble when there isn’t any.
Stop lying. It's been reported by media all around the world that Pakistani captain called tails but somehow the match referee and the announcer thought she called heads and went ahead with heads.

BBC-
However, no-one could have predicted that Sana would call incorrectly and still win the toss. The Pakistan skipper called out "tails" as Harmanpreet flicked the coin but match referee Shandre Fritz misheard and announced "heads is the call". Broadcaster and former Australia batter Mel Jones was conducting the toss and repeated Fritz's words, the coin landed on heads and it was announced that Pakistan had won the toss. Neither captain questioned it so Sana was able to step forward and confirm that Pakistan would bowl first. An innocent mistake and given India won in any case, no harm done.
Just watch a video of the toss online and you can hear her call tails.

That's clearly been doctored. When I first heard it sounded to me like she said Heads. Why did Harmanpreet not question it?

Made no difference to the result anyway, surely best just to move on.

It's not doctored. Harmanpreet and the rest of the ladies were so caught up in the moment that they all missed it/all presumed it was heads. That's why it is in the news.

Looks like NZ are going to need to beat either India or England to reach the semis.

Not convinced opting to bat first was a great decision....
