[Watch] Richa Ghosh takes a brilliant one-handed catch to dismiss Fatima Sana for 13 during the IND-W vs PAK-W 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup match

Indian wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh demonstrated her impressive reflexes by taking a stunning catch to dismiss Pakistan's captain Fatima Sana during their 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup match on Sunday, October 6. The game is being played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in UAE.

The dismissal occurred on the last ball of the 14th over. Asha Sobhana bowled a flighted delivery outside off, which gripped and turned away as Fatima attempted a slog sweep for her third consecutive boundary. However, she only managed to edge it, and Richa stretched out her right hand to pull off an incredible one-handed catch.
