In cricket, South Africa is known for starting the trend of putting breathtaking efforts in th🔯e outfield and raised the standards of fielding. From the great Jonty Rhodes to current team member David Miller, the proteas players are famous for exhibiting acrobatic and spine-chilling efforts on the cricket field.
The South African women are also equally good on the field, and middle-order batter Laura Wolvaardt displayed a mind-boggling effort to take a catch against Thailand in the ongoing Women’s T20 World Cup.
The 20-year-old showed a character of an athlete to grab a one-handed screamer to dismiss Thailand skipper So♕rnnarin Tippoch on 1.
It all happened in the seventh over of Thailand’s innings, when Nonkululeko Mlaba bowled a low full-toss to which Tippoch chipped it towards the offside. Wolvaardt, who was positioned at the covers, attempted a full-length dive to complete the catch.
