Australia’s Alana King ran out Naomi Dattani with her quick thinking in The Hundred on Saturday, August 10. The Rose Bowl in Southampton hosted the game between Trent Rockets and Southern Brave.

The dismissal came off the 97th ball of Southern Brave’s run-chase. Alana bowled a full-length ball, and Dattani went for a shot towards the leg side, but the ball hit her pads and went towards the off-side. Alana quickly covered the ground and produced an underarm throw to find the batter short of her crease at the non-striker’s end.

Sharing the video on X, The Hundred’s official handle wrote:

“Quick thinking from Alana King. Trent Rockets pick up their sixth wicket.”
