India Women opening batter Smriti Mandhana pulled off an incredible diving catch in the deep to deny England’s Natalie Sciver a half-century during the third One-Day International on Saturday in Worcester. Sciver was looking to clear the field on the leg side but mistimed the shot even as Smriti Mandhana ran to her left and dived full-length while keeping her eyes on the ball and pulled off a stunning catch.
Many termed Mandhana’s effort as the catch of the season.
In the match, Mandhana also starred with the bat with a knock of 49 runs that laid the platform for a successful chase. Mandhana hit eight boundaries during her 57-ball knock.
