The 13th match of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium witnessed one of the most breathtaking moments of the tournament, as Annabel Sutherland took a sensational catch to dismiss Amelia Kerr in the 17th over.
It happened on the third ball of the over when Minnu Mani delivered a shortish delivery on the stumps. The ball seemed to stick in the surface, causing Kerr to mistime her attempted pull shot.
The lack of pace and extra bounce resulted in a top edge that soared towards long-on. Sutherland, stationed at long-on, sprinted an incredible 28 meters before diving forward to complete a magnificent catch.
The crowd erupted in applause as Delhi Capitals players celebrated the stunning effort. The Mumbai Indians camp was left in disbelief, especially since this dismissal came immediately after a strategic timeout.
With this dismissal, Amelia Kerr walked back to the pavilion after scoring 17 runs off 18 balls, including two boundaries, at a strike rate of 94.44.
Her wicket was Mani’s second of the match, and she eventually finished with impressive figures of 3/17 in her three-over spell. Jess Jonassen also contributed significantly with three wickets, helping Delhi restrict Mumbai to a below-par total of 123.
Sutherland’s spectacular catch quickly became a sensation on social media, with fans hailing it as the best of the Women’s Premier League so far. Her incredible display of athleticism, covering a remarkable distance before executing a stunning grab, drew widespread admiration.
Some described it as the standout catch of the season, while others marveled at her agility and precision, showcasing the athleticism often associated with Australian cricketers.
