New Delhi: India might have lost the first T20I against England on Friday but Harleen Deol’s acrobatic effort in the match won the hearts of the fans as she pulled off a stunner to dismiss Amy Jones.
In the 19th over of England innings, Jones whacked the ball towards wide long-off and Harleen produced a stunning effort to dismiss the batter along with saving the six.
England won the first T20I and took a 1-0 lead in the T20I series after no more play was possible due to the rain. The hosts won the first T20I by 18 runs (DLS) method.

A fantastic piece of fielding ?
We finish our innings on 177/7

Nope. Not possible. Couldn’t have happened. Must be some special effects trick. What? It was real? Ok, move over Gal Gadot; the real WonderWoman is here… pic.twitter.com/Cr9STZrVnW
