The Indian opener was scoring at a quick rate and tried to hit a six over the long-off boundary.
But Sidra Ameen, who was stationed at that position, moved to her right and leaned out her hand to complete an incredible catch. With balance and concentration, she perfectly caught the ball inches over the boundary rope and gave Pakistan a massive breakthrough.
