On the third delivery, the Indian spinner bowled a flighted full-length delivery on the middle stump line. The batter on strike, Anushka Sanjeewani blocked the ball with a face-down bat and took a step away from the crease in her followthrough.
Yastika Bhatia, with sheer alertness, collected the ball swiftly and threw it back at the stumps with an underarm throw with the back of her hands, and just caught the batter out of the crease. Deepti Sharma was ruing with her hands on her head but as soon as she turned around and saw what has happened, was delighted with the wicket keeper's work. With this, Sri Lanka women lost their 5th wicket for 70 runs in the 23rd over.
What separates good keepers from the best? Alertness! @YastikaBhatia showed sheer wit and presence of mind with this "stumping"!
