Smriti Mandhana Takes Stunning Catch To Dismiss Nat Sciver During Third ODI, Netizens Shower Praises for Her Effort
Indian opening batswoman Smriti Mandhana pulled off a spectacular catch to get rid of English batter Nat Sciver during the third ODI between India and England in Worcester on Saturday. Sciver, in an attempt to clear the field, mistimed a shot in the leg-side and Mandhana ran to her left and pulled off a sensational running catch. The best part about the catch was that she didn’t lose sight of the ball and dived full length to put an end to Sciver’s innings at 49.┬аMithali Raj Guides India Women to 4-Wicket Win Over England Women in 3rd ODI 2021
