Within the thirteenth match of the continuing ICC Ladies’s World Cup 2022, South Africa defeated England by 3 wickets to register their third consecutive win within the multi-team event.
Put in to bat first, England misplaced two wickets cheaply, and that’s when all-rounder Nat Sciver walked in to the center. She seemed in good contact and was taking her workforce on the street to restoration. However, an uncommon dismissal led to her departure when she swung at a poor ball down the leg-side from quick bowler Masabata Klaas.
All of it occurred throughout the twelfth over of England’s innings. Klaas delivered a brief ball that Sciver seemed to tug via the sq. leg. The white-leather smacked into Sciver’s hip earlier than ricocheting off the again of her bat and lobbed instantly in the direction of Lizelle Lee at first slip and he or she took a cushty catch.
After seeing the freakish dismissal, even the commentary workforce was in disbelief. Former England worldwide Alex Hartley, who was on air, stated: “I’ve completely no concept how on earth Nat Sciver has simply executed that. I’m not being humorous, that’s the most ridiculous factor I’ve ever seen on the cricket subject.”
