[Watch] Shabnim Ismail cleans up Alyssa Healy with a ripper in WPL 2024

Mumbai Indians Women (MIW) bowler Shabnim Ismail bowled a ripper to dismiss UP Warriorz captain Alyssa Healy in their Women's Premier League (WPL) encounter on Thursday, March 7, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Healy departed cheaply, scoring just three runs off nine balls.

The dismissal came during the fifth over of the UPW run chase. Ismail bowled a length ball on off-stump that skidded through and nipped back. Healy was caught on her crease and got beaten by the pace. Healy was in a terrible position as the ball went through the gates of the angled bat and pads to crash onto the leg stump.
