During the second ODI, in the 32nd over, Halliday hit a high aerial shot off Priya Mishra's delivery. The ball looked like it would go beyond the 30-yard-circle, but to everyone's surprise, Radha Yadav leaped and caught it brilliantly, securing a spectacular wicket for the team.
Halliday mistimed the ball, and it cleared the infield easily. However, Radha Yadav ran a long way back and she managed to stretch her hands and time the dive perfectly. She ended up taking the catch, horizontal to the ground. As a result of this catch, Priya Mishra ended up taking her first international wicket.
The video of the catch has been shared by BCCI Women's official handle, and the caption reads, "Another Radha Yadav special. This time she runs all the way back and successfully takes a skier. Maiden international wicket for Priya Mishra as Brooke Halliday departs."
