While the whole cricket fraternity was giving tribute to 'King,' Australia's leggie Alana King delivered an unplayable wicket-taking delivery in the ICC Women's World Cup match between Australia Women and England Women. Alana stunned England opener Beaumont in 28th over of the 2nd innings with a sharp turn, ripping past the outside edge, and Healy, the wicket-keeper, made no mistakes in dislodging the stumps.
In a heartwarming gesture, bowler Alana tapped her black armband, seemingly paying tribute to Shane Warne, who passed away on Friday. The video immediately went viral on social media as many users regarded it as the perfect tribute to Lt. Shane Warne.
Earlier, Australia posted a massive total of 310 at the loss of 3-wickets, banking on R Haynes' 130-run knock and skipper Meg Lanning's 86 in 110 balls. While chasing, England lost their opener Lauren Winfield (0 off 1) in the first over of the 2nd innings, but Tammy Beaumont (74 off 82) and Heather Knight (40 off 51) steady the innings for defending champions. However, middle-order batter Natalie Sciver played a blistering knock of 109 in 85 balls seeking to chase the total, but England fell short of 12 runs.
