Australia maintained their winning run in the ongoing ICC Women’s World Cup as the Meg Lanning-led side defeated South Africa by five wickets on Tuesday at the Basin Reserve. Lanning scored 135 not out to take her side home, but the star of the match was definitely Ashleigh Gardner, who took an exceptional catch to dismiss Laura Wolvaardt. The catch was so breathtaking that videos of it immediately went viral on Twitter. Australian Women cricket team’s Twitter handle decided to have some fun at Gardner’s expense by asking fans to share the best photoshop memes of the cricketer’s leap.
In the 46th over of the innings, South Africa batter Laura Wolvaardt tried to clear the mid-wicket boundary but Gardner jumped and plucked the ball out of thin air to complete an absolutely sensational one-handed catch.
“Alright Twitter friends…over to you to get a bit creative with Ash’s iconic catch! Best Photoshop efforts get a retweet and lots of praise and admiration from us,” tweeted the official handle of Australian Women’s Cricket Team.
