Watch: Richa Ghosh takes stunning catch against Pakistan in Women's T20 World Cup

Young India wicketkeeper batter Richa Ghosh on Sunday grabbed an impressive one-handed catch to dismiss Pakistan captain Fatima Sana for 13 runs in the Women's T20 World Cup match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, UAE.

Ghosh showcased stunning reflexes and athleticism when she was standing up to the stumps to leg-spinner Asha Sobhana. The 21-year-old dived to her right and extended her right hand in a fraction of a second to pull off a one-handed blinder.



The incident took place on the final ball of the 14th over when a dangerous-looking Sana attempted a slog-sweep off an Sobhana's full and tossed-up delivery. The ball spun and bounced away from the batter, taking the outside-edge. It look as if it was going further away, but Ghosh put her right hand out and the ball just stuck into her glove, leaving batter Fatima and commentators in a sense of shock.


Ghosh had a poor outing as a keeper against New Zealand in the tournament opener where she had dropped a sitter. on Sunday, she redeemed herself with the miraculous catch and was also involved in a stumping of opener Muneeba Ali.


However, Ghosh registered a first-ball duck with the bat even as India beat the arch-rival by six wickets and seven balls to spare after reducing them to 105/8 in 20 overs. Pacer Arundhati Reddy won the Player of the Match award for her three wickets. With the bat, opener Shafali Verma scored 32 runs, while captain Harmanpreet Kaur was retired hurt at 29.
