[Watch] Shemaine Campbelle takes a blinder as Alyssa Healy departs for golden duck in AUS-W vs WI-W 2nd T20I

West Indies Women’s player Shemaine Campbelle took a stunning catch to dismiss Alyssa Healy in the second T20I against Australia Women in North Sydney Oval on Monday, October 2.

The dismissal took place off the very first ball of Australia’s innings. Chinelle Henry bowled a good length delivery outside the off-stump, and Healy slapped it over the point. Campbelle, who was placed at the backward point, jumped to perfection to complete the one-handed catch, leaving everyone in awe. Healy, though, was disappointed to get dismissed for a golden duck.

Watch the catch below:

Asked to bat first, Australia posted 212/6 in their allotted 20 overs. Ellyse Perry top scored with 70 runs off 46 balls, including four sixes and five boundaries. Phoebe Litchfield also hit 52 off 19 deliveries, including five sixes and three boundaries.

Georgia Wareham and Beth Mooney also chipped in with scores of 32 (13) and 29 (22), respectively.

West Indies captain Hayley Mathews starred with the ball, finishing with figures of 3/36, while Shamilia Connell picked up two wickets. Chinelle Henry also picked up a solitary wicket.
