Meanwhile, on Friday, during the 11th match of the ongoing World Cup (SA W vs THA W) 2020, South African Laura Wolvaardt took a stunning catch to dismiss Thailand skipper Sornnarin Tippoch. With this effort from Wolvaardt, South Africa almost made their way easy for the semi-finals by dismissing top 4 batters inside 20 runs.
It all happened on the first delivery of the sixth over when N Mlaba bowled a full toss ball to Sornnarin Tippoch. The Thailand batswoman chips the ball towards the offside, earlier the ball was looking to go between the gap. However, Laura puts in a full-length dive to stick the ball in her hand. It was a magnificent effort from the South African player.
