A key turning point in the match was the umpire's unusual leniency towards England captain Heather Knight. Despite being dismissed thrice—first for 0, then for 8, and finally for 13 runs—Knight was repeatedly saved by the TV umpire's decisions and did not have to leave the field. This rare occurrence left both Heather Knight and cricket fans amazed. Knight herself admitted after the match, "I survived three dismissals, but I can't believe it. This is a completely new experience for me".

Heather Knight played a crucial unbeaten innings of 79 runs from 111 balls, which helped England secure a 4-wicket victory over Bangladesh. Bangladesh's strategy involved bowlers frustrating England by delivering tight bowling and dot balls through eight different bowlers, aiming to choke the run flow. While this defensive display was remarkable, the umpire's unexpected decisions on Knight arguably influenced the match outcome significantly.

This match has sparked much discussion about umpiring decisions, cricket tactics, and the unpredictable nature of the sport at the highest level, making it one of the most talked-about encounters of the Women's World Cup so far.
