Australia women’s cricket team fast-bowler Heather Graham scalped one of the most bizarre dismissals ever during the team’s match against New Zealand on Thursday in Sydney. Graham, who was playing for Australia Governor General’s XI, scalped the wicket of Kiwi star Katie Perkins in a very unusual fashion.

In the 45th over of the innings batswoman Perkins hit a delivery straight at non-striker Katey Martin. The ball hit Martin’s bat and went in the air and the catch was taken easily by bowler Graham. The Kiwi batter was left astonished by the turn of event while at the same time, the bowler and her teammates couldn’t help but laugh at this lucky break.
