She didn't hit the ball and even the umpire didn't give it out

Linsey Smith to Hayley Matthews, out Caught by Amy Jones at third man!! An excellent review and Matthews is not happy, quicker delivery outside off, Matthews goes for the cut and misses it, Amy Jones was confident and forces for the review, replays show a gap between the bat and the edge, but Ultra edge showed otherwise, a tiny spike, the third umpire goes with it and adjudges Matthews as out, the West Indies skipper argues with the umpire, but she had to go, controversial decision in the end.

Lauren Bell to Shemaine Campbelle, SIX, the first maximum, slightly shorter and in the slot, Campbelle picks the length early, connects it well and slaps it flat over backward square leg, it thuds into the advertising board

That poor decision may be the impetus to win the tournament. Expect a different Matthews to come out batting next time

This is not the first time I seen this happened, wasn’t Cornwall given out by the 3rd umpire because there was a spike although the replay show a gap between the bat and ball?
