Indian pacer Arundhati Reddy delivered an extraordinary performance in the 3rd Women’s ODI against Australia, leaving a lasting impression with her exceptional bowling. Her spell not only rattled the formidable Australian batting lineup but also included the dismissal of one of their most reliable players, Ellyse Perry, with a delivery that is being hailed as the “ball of the match.”
Arundhati Reddy cleans up Ellyse Perry with a beauty
In the 15th over, with the scoreline tilting towards an evenly poised contest, Reddy produced a moment of brilliance. Bowling from around the wicket, she delivered a length ball that held its line, cutting through Perry’s defense. Perry, expecting the delivery to angle back into her, was caught off-guard as the ball stayed straight, brushing past her outside edge and crashing into the top of off-stump.
The dismissal was as much about precision as it was about strategy. Perry’s attempted flick to the leg side failed to connect, leaving the Australian dugout stunned and the Indian players erupting in celebration. Reddy, with arms spread wide, looked to the heavens in a triumphant gesture, marking what was arguably one of the finest deliveries of her career.

Reddy’s phenomenal bowling display
Notably, Reddy’s bowling figures from the match underline her dominance with the ball. Completing her full quota of 10 overs, Reddy claimed 4 wickets, including 2 maidens, at a miserly economy rate. Her ability to maintain a tight line and length, combined with subtle variations, made her a nightmare for the Australian batters.
