Fielding at a short square leg is never easy since the shot, especially the pull shot, comes at a great speed towards the fielder. In the fourth over of the second inning, Rashada Williams tried to get off the mark as she smacked Megan Schutt's short ball towards the square leg region. 

Beth Mooney was fielding at the catching distance in the short square leg area and the ball was traveling fast from her right side. Mooney jumped and grabbed the ball in the air from one hand. 

At one point in time, Mooney was parallel to the ground in the air. It was a brilliant reflex catch by Beth Mooney, who also is a wicketkeeper for her domestic team - Queensland.
