Watch: Beth Mooney, Playing With "Broken Jaw", Dives To Save Boundary In Women's Ashes

Australia women's cricket team batter Beth Mooney hogged the limelight after showcasing grit and determination in the ongoing one-off women's Ashes Test against England women's in Canberra. Despite breaking her jaw during throw downs ahead of the one-off Test, Mooney decided to take the field, and also came out to bat. While she was dismissed for 3 in the first innings, Mooney was seen giving his absolute best on the field. In an attempt to save the boundary, Mooney threw herself near the boundary line, despite playing with a broken jaw.

A video of Mooney throwing "herself around" in the outfield was shared by 7Cricket.
