More often than now, we come across the players passing the catch at the boundary ropes when they are losing their balance. But, now, here comes a tag team catch right in the middle of the ground. Though it wasn’t intentional from Ekta Bisht and Mansi Joshi, the tag team catch has certainly brought smiles in the Indian camp while South Africa women team can’t believe their tough luck.

It was in the 46th over of the match when Ekta Bisht bowled a decent flight delivery right in the slot for Shangase, who went hard for it. Though she made decent contact, it went straight to Ekta Bisht, who jumped to get it. However, she couldn’t hold on to the catch.
