The cricket world erupted with mixed emotions after India advanced to the final of the ongoing biennial event ahead of England despite their semifinal match getting abandoned without even a ball being bowled.
Dane van Niekerk's remark, which had an indirect dig at the way India qualified for the final, did not go down well with renowned commentator Harsha Bhogle.
Rain delayed the second semifinal match in Sydney and in case the match had been abandoned, South Africa would have entered the final on the virtue of their top position in Group B.
Australia defeated South Africa by 5 runs in the rain-interrupted second semifinal to set up the final clash against India.
Natalie Sciver was the biggest positive for England with the bat but ended up on the losing side.
England skipper Heather Knight also stated that she would have liked to bowl first at this wicket.
Van Niekerk and all-rounder Marizanne Kapp tied the knot in July this year.
India have taken the lead of 2-1 in the series.
