In a nail biting final of The Hundred (Women’s) between the Welsh Fire and London Spirit at Lord’s on August 18, 2024, Shabnim Ismail stole the spotlight with a stunning bowling display. Fans can further scroll down to watch the video of the sensational bowling spell that nearly turned the tide in the Welsh Fire’s favour.
Despite Welsh Fire setting a below par target of 116 runs, it was Ismail’s remarkable performance that had the fans on the edge of their seats. Ismail’s fiery spell saw her claim three crucial wickets, each delivered with precision and skill. In her first breakthrough, Ismail sent Australian legend Meg Lanning packing, leaving Lanning helpless as the ball kept a section low. This dismissal put Welsh Fire on the board at 11/1.
Later, Ismail continued her dominance with a masterful delivery to Heather Knight. With a tight line and significant movement down the slope, Ismail breached Knight’s defense, sending her middle stump flying and the scoreboard reading 56/3. The highlight of the spell came when Ismail struck again, this time dismissing Danielle Gibson in a carbon-copy of Knight’s dismissal, with an angled delivery that took off the top of middle stump, reducing the Welsh Fire to 88/4.
