Oval Invincibles’ player Mady Villiers took a screamer to dismiss Trent Rockets' opener Bryony Smith in the 31st game of The Hundred Women’s Competition 2024 on Wednesday, August 14. The game is being played at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.

The dismissal came on the eighth ball of Trent Rockets' innings. Marizanne Kapp bowled a back-of-the-length ball outside off. Bryony Smith tried to drag it over leg-side but didn’t get enough power behind the shot.

Mady Villiers, who was fielding at short mid-wicket, moved to her left and dove full-length to grab a one-handed blinder.

Here’s the video of the stunning catch:

Bryony Smith couldn’t contribute much as she was dismissed for one off two balls and her wicket left the Trent Rockets at 2/2 after eight balls.

Oval Invincibles captain Lauren Winfield-Hill won the toss and chose to bowl first. Marizanne Kapp provided an excellent start as she dismissed Grace Scrivens for a five-ball duck. Soon after, a blinder from Mady Villiers resulted in the wicket of Bryony Smith.

Rachel Slater then took the important wicket of Trent Rockets’ captain Nat Sciver-Brunt. The right-handed batter went for a four-ball duck. Natasha Wraith (14) and Ashleigh Gardner stitched together a 43-run partnership in 31 balls for the fourth wicket before the former was dismissed by Kapp.

Gardner played a brilliant inning of 43 off 26 balls. She was dismissed by Mady Villiers as the Trent Rockets found themselves at 60/5 after 52 balls.

Towards the end of the innings, Sophia Smale took two wickets, shattering the hopes of the Trent Rockets of putting a decent total on the board. The Rockets finished 91/8 in their allotted 100 balls.

Marizanne Kapp was the pick of the bowlers for the Oval Invincibles, taking three wickets while only conceding eight runs in her spell of 20 deliveries. Meanwhile, Rachel Slater and Sophia Smale bagged two wickets each.
