On the first ball of the ninth over from pacer Shamilia Connell, Deandra Dottin made a spectacular catch. very well! Connell had bowled tight in her four overs and gave up only 16 runs before starting her fifth against English batter Lauren Winfield Hill. The ball was thrown well outside the off-stump, which was a good chance for the batter to hit it square to point. Hill made good contact but played the ball in the air. And as the players, fans and cameras began to follow the ball, a flying Deandra Dottin appeared to Hill’s dismay.
