The 2024 edition of The Hundred saw an believable incident unfolding during the clash between Southern Brave Women and Trent Rockets Women. During the clash, Trent Rockets’ skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt narrowly escaped a dismissal, leaving fans and commentators shocked. The incident took place in the 24th clash of the 100-ball tournament on Saturday, August 10, at The Rose Bowl in Southampton.
On the 63rd ball of the Trent Rockets innings, Southern Brave pacer Lauren Bell bowled a slower ball targeting the middle and leg stump. The delivery dipped onto the batter as the batter got an inside edge and the ball hit her shoes and hit back on the stumps. However, the bails remained intact, clearly defying the laws of Physics. The Rockets’ skipper was on 37 when she got the lifeline, and made the most of this opportunity and remained unbeaten on 60 off 37 deliveries.
