On the other hand, if we talk about Mady Villiers’ catch, then she took this amazing catch during the Trent Rockets vs Oval Invincibles match. Marizanne Kapp bowled the 8th ball of the match at a good length on which Trent Rockets’ Bryony Smith wanted to play a shot on the leg side.
The batsman connected the ball well with the bat, but the ball went in the air for a while. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the 25-year-old player dived to his left and took a wonderful catch with one hand. After seeing this unbelievable catch, the bowler, umpire and commentators were also surprised. The commentators even called it the catch of the tournament on air.
