WATCH: Nashra Sandhu's jaffa takes Ellyse Perry's wicket in AUS-W vs PAK-W ICC Women's World Cup 2025 match

A wonderful day for Nashra Sandhu. The Pakistan Women's team spinner was absolutely on her business with brilliant bowling against the star-studded Australia Women's team (AUS-W vs PAK-W) on Wednesday during a match of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo. 

Before the match, the Australia Women's cricket team was the favorite to win the match, as they were one of the hot favorites to win the prestigious trophy as well. The team led by Alyssa Healy was quickly exposed by Pakistan's top bowling attack. The bowling unit of Pakistan started to crack the defense from the beginning of the first innings. Australia lost their first wicket on the last delivery of the seventh over of the innings. From then on, they never looked confident enough to get back on the track strongly. 

Ellyse Perry, who came to bat at number 3, could have helped her team to bounce back, but a smart delivery from Sandhu knocked her out of the crease. It was a absolute jaffa from the Pakistan spinner. On the turning track of Colombo, she forced the batter to play the ball using the front foot.

An unplay-able delivery from the Pakistan spinner 

The spinner pitched the ball on the line of the off stump, in the middle, and the right-handed batter came out of the crease and used his left foot to push the ball on the off side. After hitting the deck, the ball moved away from the batter, missed the bat entirely, and went into the gloves of the wicketkeeper. Pakistan keeper Sidra Nawaz did not make any mistake to uproot the stumps. 

Ellyse Perry quickly turned to get back on the crease, but she was away only by a few inches when the keeper dislodged the ball. The bat was on into the crease, so after a review, the third umpire gave it an out. Ellyse Perry departed for 5 off 11.
