Harmanpreet Kaur might have gone ballistic but Indian vice-captain Smriti Mandhana was way more tempered in her criticism of Bangladeshi umpires Muhammad Kamruzzaman and Tanvir Ahmed after the third WODI on Saturday was tied with some debatable decisions coming under scanner.

Both teams wre locked at identical score of 225 and the series ended in a 1-1 draw.

Skipper Kaur has courted controversy after she was adjudged leg-before off a Nahida Akter delivery while trying to sweep. She claimed that the ball hit the bat before hitting the pads. She broke the stumps in disgust and termed the umpiring "pathetic" at post-match presentation.

"What did you think?" Mandhana shot back when questioned about the umpiring.
