The video of New Zealand cricketer Maddie Green taking an amazing catch in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2022 to dismiss Ellyse Perry of Australia is viral.
The brilliant catch happened in the 47th over of the Australian innings.
All-rounder Ellyse Perry hit the ball straight down the ground and was going towards the rope for a certain boundary. Maddie Green dived to her left near the boundary and earned applause from her teammates and the home crowd.
Best catch of #CWC22 for me.
