England Women’s secured a convincing seven-wicket victory over South Africa Women in the ongoing ICC Women’s T20 World Cup at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on October 07. Meanwhile, England’s Nat Sciver-Brunt’s bizarre run-out during the first innings caught everyone’s attention.

The unconventional incident took place in the final over of South Africa’s innings. Sciver-Brunt, bowling to Annerie Dercksen, was on the receiving end of a powerful drive. In a quick reaction and impressive footwork, Brunt stuck out her right foot, deflecting the ball onto the stumps at the non-striker’s end. Sune Luus, who was outside the crease, was caught short and ran out bizarrely.
