Saralnama25 on-field decisions were overturned in 36 innings at the Women's World Cup 2025. The high rate of 0.67 successful overturns per innings has put umpiring standards under scrutiny. Several contentious decisions involving DRS have raised questions. In the England-Bangladesh match, England captain Heather Knight got three reprieves. During the India-Pakistan game in Colombo, Muneeba Ali's run-out decision was changed after initial confusion. The India-South Africa match saw a debated lbw decision for Sune Luus. Of the ten TV umpires, only three have officiated in over 20 ODIs with DRS. Five umpires had less than five internationals with DRS experience. The ICC has not commented on the umpires' inexperience or team concerns about officiating errors. (Updated 18 Oct 2025, 12:12 IST; source: link)
