While Krishnamurthy slammed a powerful hook shot off the short-pitched delivery by spinner Ashleigh Gardner, Vlaeminck stationed at the backward square leg, jumped backwards and stuck out her right hand to pluck the ball in mid-air. The reflexive catch by the T20I debutant was indeed a moment of brilliance
In the 16th over of the final Group B match at the ICC Women’s World Twenty20 2018 in Guyana on Saturday, Australia fast bowler Tayla Vlaeminck took a stunning one-handed blinder to dismiss Veda Krishnamurthy for just three runs.

— ICC (@ICC)While Krishnamurthy slammed a powerful hook shot off the short-pitched delivery by spinner Ashleigh Gardner, Vlaeminck stationed at the backward square leg, jumped backwards and stuck out her right hand to pluck the ball in mid-air. The reflexive catch by the T20I debutant was indeed a moment of brilliance.
Later, as Alyssa Healy and Megan Schutt were involved in a nasty collision while attempting a catch in the 19th over of the Indian innings, Australia faced a major setback.
Again, India’s Radha Yadav took a diving catch in her own over to dismiss Delissa Kimmince, and displayed another sight of brilliance. Radha ran backwards and timed her dive to take a stunning catch of the tossed delivery from the off-spinner which was smashed across the line by Kimmince.
