Aaliyah Alleyne was dismissed due to Harmanpreet's spectacular catch.
Chasing 315 to win, the West Indies were reeling at 26/4 and it was at this moment, Aaliyah Alleyne decided to release some pressure by taking on Renuka Singh Thakur.
Aaliyah went for a big shot against Renuka and must have thought that she had managed to get herself a boundary. But Harmanpreet had other ideas.
Standing at mid-on, the Indian captain timed her jump to perfection to grab the ball with her right hand. Kaur’s effort left the batter and the visiting dugout stunned as Aaliyah made her way back to the pavilion for 13.
Here’s the video:
Earlier in the day, the Women in Blue racked up a mammoth 314/9 on the board in their allotted 50 overs. Smriti Mandhana was the top scorer with 91 off 102 balls. Harleen Deol (44) and Pratika Rawal (40) also made useful contributions with the bat.
In reply, West Indies’ innings folded for a paltry 103 in 26.2 overs as India won the game 211 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Renuka was the pick of the bowlers, returning with the figures of 5/29 in her 10 overs.
