‘Brilliant effort!’ – Litchfield’s ‘stunning’ piece of fielding
A brief clip from The Hundred Women's competition captured Sunrisers Leeds fielder Phoebe Litchfield making a spectacular boundary save against Manchester Super Giants, stopping what looked certain to be a six. The moment came during a match that Sunrisers went on to win, helping them secure their place in the knockout stages of the tournament.
Litchfield, an Australian international, prevented the six by cutting off the shot right on the rope, denying fellow Australian Meg Lanning the runs and keeping Sunrisers on top at that stage of the game. The piece of fielding was widely praised by commentators as "brilliant" and "stunning", and the video has been highlighted by the BBC as one of the standout moments from the match.
