During the ICC Women’s World Cup semifinal between India and Australia, Australian bowler Kim Garth produced a moment of sheer drama to dismiss Smriti Mandhana in a fashion that left the stadium stunned and millions watching in disbelief.
The Australian seamer bowled a length delivery drifting down the leg side, prompting an initial wide call. Mandhana, attempting a fine glance, appeared to have missed it completely.

The call stunned not just the batter but supporters around the world, proving once again how razor-thin the margins in modern cricket can be.
Mandhana, visibly shocked, shook her head as she walked back, the crowd left murmuring in disbelief at the dismissal. A key wicket fell in the most dramatic fashion, handing Australia a crucial breakthrough and shifting early momentum in the contest.
