In what looked like a mix up during the toss for India's Women's World Cup contest on Sunday, match referee Shandre Fritz mistakenly declared Pakistan skipper Fatima Sana the winner.

India captain Harmanpreet Kaur flipped the coin, and Sana called "tails," but Fritz misheard it as "heads," a cue that presenter Mel Jones also followed. The coin landed heads up, and the result went Pakistan's way, allowing them to opt for bowling first under overcast conditions.

Harmanpreet, who didn't shake hands with Sana, also didn't react and approached Jones for a chat after the Pakistan skipper.

Bugs stop play

Several times, players from both sides were seen swatting away bugs. So enthusiastic was the bug population in Colombo that play was halted for 15 minutes.
