south africa lost their first wicket in the second over. Next, the team's captain Aidan Markram, and Lisa Henriques were batting. Then when Markram bowled the fourth ball of the third over, the ball edged his bat. The ball went to the wicketkeeper Rahmanullah. Then captain Rashid Khan said he heard a sound like the ball hitting the bat. The wicketkeeper asked Rahmanullah, "Has the ball been hit?" He asked. But he said he did not hear any noise. So, Rashid Khan didn't ask for a review then.
