[Watch] Amelia Kerr takes sensational catch in The Hundred

London Spirit all-rounder Amelia Kerr took a brilliant catch to dismiss Ryana Macdonald Gay in The Hundred at Kennington Oval in London on Tuesday (August 15). The 22-year-old took an excellent reflex catch of her own bowling.

The incident took place off the 100th (final) delivery of the game. Kerr bowled a full-length delivery, which Ryana failed to get underneath the ball. She hit the toe end of the bat, so the ball didn’t get enough height to go over the bowler’s head.

Kerr dived to her right sharply to pluck it out of thin air with one hand. With the wicket, the Spirit bundled out the Invincibles for 97.

Kerr was also the pick of the bowlers for the Spirit, finishing with figures of 3-16. She had previously emerged as one of the leading wicket-taker in the inaugural edition of the Women’s Premier League.

The Mumbai Indians leg-spinner scalped 15 wickets in ten games, only behind Hayley Mathews and Sophie Ecclestone (16 wickets apiece). Kerr is also a handy middle-order batter.
