[Watch] Australia’s Amanda-Jade Wellington takes a blinder in The Hundred
Australia women’s player Amanda-Jade Wellington took a brilliant catch in The Hundred women’s clash between Norther Superchargers and Oval Invincibles at Kennington Oval in London on Friday, August 2. The Invincibles struck early as Davina Sarah T Perrin departed for just eight runs off seven balls.
The dismissal came off the seventh ball of the Superchargers’ innings. Left-arm pacer Rachel Slater bowled a length ball and Davina went for a shot over mid-off. The right-hander, however, managed to hit the ball off the bottom end.
Wellington ran backwards to her right before putting in the dive to complete the catch. The stunning effort could be rewarded with a catch of the tournament contender.
Sharing the video on X, The Hundred’s official handle wrote on X:
“Amanda-Jade Wellington took OFF to take this catch!”

Amanda-Jade is enjoying a great run in The Hundred. The leg-spinner returned with excellent figures of 3/9 and 2/29 against Birmingham Phoenix and Welsh Fire in her first two outings, respectively. Her performances helped the Invincibles win the two games by 45 runs and six wickets, respectively. She would now be keen to continue to make her national comeback for the upcoming 2024 T20 Women’s World Cup.
