Apart from being a brilliant batter, India opener Smriti Mandhana is also a wonderful fielder. She gave a glimpse of her fielding brilliance during the third ODI against England in Worcester.

It was the 38th over of India’s innings when Mandhana pulled off a stunner to dismiss Natalie Sciver on 49.

While facing Deepti Sharma, Sciver danced down the track but failed to make the desired connection as the ball went towards deep mid-wicket, where Mandhana made a sprint to her left and dived full length to grab it with both hands.

Smriti Mandhana’s herculean effort on the field left everyone in awe, including herself.

Here’s the video:

 

Coming to the match, India won the toss and opted to bowl first. Thanks to Deepti Sharma’s 3/47, the visitors restricted England Women to 219 in 47 overs-a-side contest.

Having won the first two games, the home has already clinched the three-match ODI series.
