The ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2025 delivered a moment of brilliance today as West Indies’ Chinelle Henry executed a stunning direct-hit run-out to dismiss Scotland’s Ailsa Lister. The match, held in Pakistan, saw West Indies assert their dominance in the field, with Henry’s athleticism becoming the high-profile moment of the game.
West Indies halt Scotland’s steady start
The clash between West Indies and Scotland was the second match in the ongoing Women’s World Cup Qualifier, a tournament designed to determine which teams secure a coveted spot in the main event later this year. West Indies, known for their flair and fielding prowess, faced a determined Scotland side eager to make their mark.
By the 22nd over, Scotland had reached 100/4, with Lister looking comfortable at the crease and threatening to anchor her team’s innings. However, the game’s momentum shifted dramatically thanks to Henry’s intervention, a moment that underscored why fielding can be as decisive as batting or bowling in modern cricket.

Chinelle Henry’s direct hit cut short Alisa Lister’s stay
It all unfolded in the blink of an eye. With Scotland’s batters attempting to rotate the strike, Lister ventured out of her crease, perhaps underestimating the sharpness of West Indies’ fielders. Henry, stationed strategically, pounced on the opportunity. With a swift pick-up and a laser-guided throw, she hit the stumps dead-on, catching Lister short of her ground.
Replays showed the precision of the effort: Henry’s throw was not just powerful but pinpoint accurate, leaving no room for error or umpire deliberation. The third umpire’s review was a formality—Lister was out, and Scotland’s hopes took a significant hit.
