One of the standout moments came in the 11th over of the West Indies chase, when India Women captain Harmanpreet Kaur left one and all amazed with her incredible fielding efforts in the three-match ODI series opener at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara.
As Aaliyah Alleyne, looking to clear the mid-on boundary, struck the ball cleanly with power, the India Women captain made a stunning one-handed catch, jumping high to reach the ball and pulling off a jaw-dropping one-handed catch to dismiss the West Indies star.
The ball was traveling fast, and Alleyne’s shot appeared to be heading for a boundary, but Harmanpreet Kaur’s athletic leap and perfectly timed reach allowed her to snatch the ball out of the air.
Her quick reflexes and athleticism were on full display, leaving fans and players in awe, as Aaliyah Alleyne was sent back to the dugout for just 13 runs off 23 balls in the first ODI match in Vadodara.
