Deepti Sharma’s brilliant hold sends Anneke Bosch away in the IND-W vs SA-W match

At a critical moment in the South African innings, with the score at 58 for 4 in 14.1 overs, Deepti bowled a full toss just outside stump to Bosch. Bosch tried without conviction to make an ambitious high shot; she didn’t get completely under the ball or try to keep it on the ground. The ball came back weakly towards Deepti, who positioned himself perfectly and despite a slight fall took the catch with both hands. The catch, although a little lumpy, was held firmly, dramatically breaking South Africa’s momentum and strengthening India’s grip on the match. Bosch’s dismissal for 1 run off 2 balls was a major blow to South Africa’s lower order.
