Muniba Ali was first given by the third umpire, then the decision was reviewed again and retained. Has this happened before? pic.twitter.com/edkdrvaidh

If I am wrong then correct me, but I remember changes in laws that once your bat is originally taken to a run -out position, you are safe.

Insggishing … They do not know the rules … Muniba once grounded with his bat, after that it cannot be dismissed … The TV umpires were entitled to a rebuke #Pakvsind #WOMENSWORLDCUP2025

Law 30.1 explained: Why did Pakistan stand out despite opposition from cricket fans
30.1 according to MCC law, “A batsman is considered out of his field if neither the bat nor any part of his body is placed behind the popping crease, when the stumps break. The only exception is if a batsman is a batsman, while diving or running, has already grounded the bat or body before the crease before losing contact,”
In the case of Muniba, although he initially placed his bat on the ground, it was raised in the air when the stumps were legally excluding him. The decision, although technically correct, a debate on the soul versus law arose in cricket. Many people argued that the reversal came very late and interrupted the speed of the game. Pakistan captain Fatima Sana’s opposition highlighted the team’s frustration, while the Indian players maintained that it was within the laws of the game. Bizarre dismissal, now viral online, once again raised questions about accuracy in umpiring decisions and correct margins that define high pressure World Cup competitions.
