New Zealand's experienced all-rounder Amelia Kerr showcased remarkable fielding attributes, as she grabbed a sensational catch to dismiss Dayalan Hemalatha in MI Women's ongoing WPL match against Gujarat Giants. Coming at three, Hemalatha could score only nine runs before Kerr's magnificent running catch sent her back to the dugout.
Kerr's Exceptional Catch Gets Hemalatha In MI vs GG WPL Match
The incident occurred during the fourth over of Gujarat Giants' innings when they needed a crucial third-wicket partnership to bail them out of trouble. MI captain Harmanpreet Kaur's decision to bring Hayley Matthews into the attack paid rich dividends for her team, as the ace all-rounder got rid of Hemalatha with her off-spin.
Nevertheless, the credit went to Amelia Kerr, who covered a significant distance and grabbed a spectacular running catch near the boundary. From over the wicket, Matthews bowled a slightly slower delivery, inviting Hemalatha to hit it by using her feet.
As the right-handed batter smacked it through the longer side of the ground, Kerr ran from mid-wicket to grab a sensational catch near the cow corner boundary.

After winning the toss and opting to bowl first, Mumbai Indians Women had a fantastic start to the match. While Shabnim Ismail and Nat Sciver-Brunt sent the Giants' openers packing, Hemalatha and the in-form Ashleigh Gardner registered rare failures with the bat. As of writing, the Giants were 33 for four, with Harleen Deol and Deandra Dottin batting on 2* and 5*, respectively.
