Actually, Walvert took this catch in the third ball of the 30th over of the Windies innings. Healy Mathews played a cut short off Tumi Sekhukhune. The ball was far away from Laura Walwart, who was fielding on point, despite this, she jumped in the air on her right side and grabbed the catch with one hand. In this way the 8-run innings of Healy Mathews came to an end.
