WATCH: Screamer from Sneh Rana helps India to dismiss Alyssa Healy

Sneh Rana pulled off a screamer that helped India to dismiss Alyssa Healy. The dangerous batter could not do much damage as India claimed the big wicket in the match early. In a game which was otherwise dominated by the visiting side, the catch acted as a moment of brilliance for India, who ensured the control of the damage early in the run chase. 

Alyssa Healy tried to cut the ball towards the point region. But the ball caught the outside edge of the batter and flew towards the 3rd man region. Sneh was inside the circle and was fairly away from the point of impact. She had to make a huge effort to get there. But there was a lot of difficulty in catching. Hence, pulling it off was incredible and seemed very good on viewing.
