India women’s team captain Harmanpreet Kaur has said that side had committed “no crime” after completing a first-ever whitewash in ODIs on English soil with a legal yet debatable run out. Harmanpreet was responding to questions on the run out effected by her bowler Deepti Sharma at the non-striker’s end to claim the crucial wicket of Charlie Dean, after the batter had backed up too far, thereby ending England’s innings 17 short of the target of 170 in the third and final ODI here on Saturday. Batting at No.9, Dean had helped England stage a recovery with a fighting 47 and shared a 35-run stand with No.11 Freya Davies. The hosts recovered from 65 for 7 and then 103 for 8.
