Charlie Dean's spectacular fielding effort was put on display during the 29th fixture of the Women's Hundred Competition between the Oval Invincibles and London Spirit. Much to everyone's disbelief, Dean pulled off an out-of-the-world catch to send Marizanne Kapp of Oval Invincibles packing in the first innings.
Her fielding skills were put to the test during the 95th ball of the first innings. The in-form Kapp, who was batting on 32, was looking to switch through the gears to help the Invincibles muster as many runs as possible towards the final phase of the innings. Facing up to Issy Wong, Kapp received a pace off delivery, well within her hitting arc.
She came down the track in a bid to launch it over the infield, but failed to get the desired connection. However, when the ball was hit in the air, the ball seemed destined to sail over Dean's head at short extra cover. But what followed was sheer brilliance from the 24-year-old, which left the viewers, including Kapp, baffled. Out of nowhere, Dean was able to time her jump with absolute precision. But that was only half the job done. What she did next was even remarkable. While being airborne, Dean managed to stick her right hand out, and the ball unbelievably settled into her right palm. Her teammates from London Spirit were ecstatic as she made a near-impossible one-handed catch look ridiculously easy.

Watch the catch:
The Oval Invincibles were eventually restricted to 108-8. Dean's on-field exploits hardly went unnoticed. Prior to taking this mind-boggling catch, Dead effected a simple caught & bowled chance earlier in the day to dismiss Meg Lanning cheaply for 19. With the ball, she accounted for the dismissals of Lanning and Kalea Moore and ended up with extraordinary figures of 2-12 in her 20-ball spell. In reply, London Spirit responded ruthlessly with the bat as Kira Chathli and Georgia Redmayne slammed a swashbuckling century-plus opening stand to help Spirit track down a relatively straightforward run chase with 38 balls to spare. Charlie Dean was honored with the Player of the Match (POTM) for her heroic all-round effort on the field.
