Watch: Shikha Pandey's 'ball of the century' dismisses Healy in 2nd T20I

India put up an inept performance, scoring only 118 for nine, largely due to a 37 off 26 balls by Pooja Vastrakar.

Gold Coast: Hailed as "the ball of the century" by some, India's Shikha Pandey outdid Alyssa Healy by a delivery that was pitched on the sixth stump and nipped back to send the Australian batter back to the dressing room in the second women's T20 International here.

Twitter went crazy as fans and lovers of the game posted the video clip on their social media handle as the action brought smiles despite India losing the game against the Australian.

Earlier, batting first, India put up an inept performance, scoring only 118 for nine, largely due to a 37 off 26 balls by Pooja Vastrakar.

Australia scored the runs in 19.1 overs, courtesy rookie McGrath (42 not out off 33 balls), who launched into Shikha Pandey's 18th over, getting 14 runs which proved to be a game-changer.

Renuka Singh's inexperience also cost India dearly as the 19th over yielded 13 runs with McGrath, playing only in her second T20 International, winning it for the hosts.
