Deandra Dottin’s unplayable yorker cleans up Brooke Halliday in Women’s T20 World Cup semifinal – WATCH | Cricket News
NEW DELHI: West Indies Women’s premier all-rounder showcased her exceptional bowling skills in the T20 World Cup semifinal against New Zealand Women at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Her sensational spell dismantled the White Ferns’ batting lineup, triggering a collapse that significantly impacted the crucial match.
Dottin’s outstanding performance included the dismissals of Amelia Kerr, Brooke Halliday, Maddy Green, and Rosemary Mair.
However, it was her magnificent yorker to Halliday that garnered the most attention.
Swashbuckling left-hander Halliday had quickly reached eighteen runs off just eight deliveries before Dottin’s timely intervention brought the West Indies back into the game.
The pivotal moment occurred in the 15th over of New Zealand Women’s innings. As Halliday was rapidly shifting gears alongside skipper Sophie Devine, attempting to ensure a strong finish for their team, Dottin had different plans.

The batter, attempting to guide the ball through the third-man region, was beaten on the outside edge, resulting in her off stump being shattered. Halliday was left shell-shocked by the delivery in the high-stakes match.
