Amanjot Kaur produced a moment of sheer brilliance in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 final, pulling off one of the greatest catches ever seen in the tournament’s history to dismiss South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt. The breathtaking moment came just when Wolvaardt appeared to be taking the game away from India with a sensational century at the Dr DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
Chasing 247, South Africa seemed in control with Wolvaardt anchoring the innings. But in the 43rd over, she attempted a slog-sweep off Deepti Sharma, looking to clear the midwicket boundary. The ball soared high into the night sky, spinning under the bright floodlights — a test of nerves and timing for any fielder.

Amanjot Kaur, stationed near deep midwicket, steadied herself under the swirling ball. For a heart-stopping moment, she appeared to lose it — the ball slipped through her hands, bounced off her palms, and seemed destined to hit the turf. But in an incredible display of athleticism and composure, Amanjot recovered just in time, diving forward and grabbing it one-handed inches above the ground.
