During the second ODI of the New Zealand Women’s tour of India 2024, Radha Yadav delivered a spectacular moment that left fans and players alike in awe. The match, being played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, saw Radha taking a breathtaking catch to dismiss Brooke Halliday, showcasing her exceptional fielding skills.

Radha Yadav pulls off a stunner to remove Brooke Halliday

New Zealand won the toss and opted to bat, setting the stage for a riveting contest. As the innings progressed, Halliday found herself at the crease, looking to build a partnership with Sophie Devine. However, in the 31st over, Priya Mishra bowled a straightish delivery that Halliday attempted to attack. Unfortunately for her, she mistimed the shot, sending it high into the air.

Initially, it seemed that Halliday would be safe as the ball appeared to be clearing the infield easily. However, Radha Yadav had other plans. Positioned at mid-off, she sprinted back with remarkable speed, keeping her eyes on the ball as it soared overhead. Running back while looking up is no easy feat; players often struggle to judge when to stretch their hands or time their dives. Yet Radha executed everything flawlessly.

As Halliday’s shot reached its apex, Radha launched herself into a full-length dive, extending her body horizontally to the ground. The crowd erupted as she managed to grasp the ball just inches above the turf, pulling off what can only be described as a blinder. This stunning catch not only marked Priya’s first international wicket but also highlighted Radha’s growing reputation as a key player for India.

As play continued, India’s bowlers tried to maintain pressure on New Zealand batters. But Devine (79 off 86) and Maddy Green (42 of 41) guided the White Ferns to a competitive total. The touring party finished at 259 for the loss of 9 wickets in their stipulated 50 overs.
