Amanda-Jade Wellington of Oval Invincibles stood out in yesterday's Women's Hundred fixture against Birmingham Phoenix, thanks to her extraordinary brilliance on the field. Although she missed out with the willow and perished without troubling the scorers, she made it up by pulling off a spectacular no-look run out to catch the in-form Emma Lamb off guard. The dismissal came at a critical time for Oval Invincibles as they were able to put the brakes on and restrict the home side to 152. 

Tasked with chasing 175, Birmingham Phoenix were regularly jolted by the fall of wickets. However, this no-look run-out dismissal came to light during the 59th ball of the run chase. Wellington bowled a leg-side delivery, which Lamb was able to work it away towards deep mid-wicket. She played it well to place the ball into the gap, but wasn't expecting a rocket-arm throw from the deep. Franklin, the fielder in the deep, released the ball quickly and threw it towards the non-striker's end. 

Wellington anticipated the throw to perfection and almost immediately flicked it back onto the stumps after collecting the ball. Interestingly, she wasn't even looking back, but her throw turned out to be accurate as the ball went on to crash into the stumps. Lamb was left agonizingly short of her crease as she fell prey to the outstanding fielding effort from both Franklin and Wellington combined.

Lamb was eventually run out for 25, making her the third-highest run scorer for Birmingham Phoenix. Sadly, her departure caused Birmingham Phoenix to lose a little bit of momentum during the run chase. The team struggled to regroup after that blow and found it difficult to keep up with the asking rate. Before her eventual demise, Lamb played a very instrumental role in holding Birmingham Phoenix's innings together. Ailsa Lister tried to salvage the game and slammed a courageous 33 (18) to take the home side close, but failed to get them over the line, thus handing the Invincibles a convincing 22-run victory.
