Watch: Harmanpreet Kaur Dismisses Smriti Mandhana With A Fine Catch In Women's Big Bash League

Harmanpreet Kaur is the captain of Smriti Mandhana in the Indian women's T20 team. But on Friday Harmanpreet Kaur, playing for Sydney Thunders in the Women's Big Bash League, played a key role in dismissing her national team compatriot Mandhana. The 29-year-old Harmanpreet took a brilliant catch just on the edge of the circle to dismiss Hobart Hurricanes opener Mandhana after a quick-fire 29. However, after taking the catch, Harmanpreet did not celebrate.

Mandhana had notched up two boundaries and one six in 22-ball knock.
