Dottin breathtaking run out against New Zealand

If the men are said to be quick in the cricket fields, then surely the women are also not far behind them. This run out from the West Indian batsman Dottin shows the skill set of the West Indian female cricketers.

West Indies players had all the issues with their board before coming to India for the World t20 2016. The board was not facilitating its own players. But still all these problems united both the men and women’s cricket teams.

Not only this but they won the cups as well. This run out shows the commitment of the female West Indian female players. Dottin was the fielder here. In this game against New Zealand, she was fielding at the point.

The batsman hit a back foot shot towards the right of her. As it was played on the back foot by the batsman so Dottin was an extra bit of time. Dottin rushed towards the ball picked it up with his right hand and immediately threw it towards the stumps at the bowling end.


All this took her just a glimpse of a second and the ball went on to hit the stumps. It was a very close call and as a result, the infield umpire referred it to the third umpire. After watching a few replays the third umpire gave that out.



The West Indian captain Jacobs was pretty certain before the decision was made that Dottin has got her an important wicket. This commitment in the field and then the batting from the top order of the West Indies guided them to leading the cup in the finals.
