Ellyse Perry will forever be haunted by the name Poonam Yadav, and with good reason. In the 2020 ICC Women바카라™s T20 World Cup, Perry stood as a formidable threat to India, but it was Yadav's mesmerizing leg-spin that dismantled the Australian star and sparked one of India바카라™s most iconic victories.

That unplayable delivery didn바카라™t just win the game -- now, in 2024, it has been crowned the FanCraze Greatest Moment in Women바카라™s T20 World Cup history.
Poonam Yadav바카라™s Magic: Watch
In that face off, Perry charged down the pitch, trying to meet Yadav바카라™s delivery, but was deceived by a cunning wrong-un that dipped and snuck between bat and pad, crashing into leg stump.
Thereafter the brilliant spell by Yadav set the tone for India's perfect start to the seventh edition of the Women's T20 World Cup as she won Player of the Match award for her beautiful spells.
Yadav isn바카라™t the only Indian in the mix, two more moments have made the list, but they don바카라™t bring much joy. Harmanpreet Kaur바카라™s heartbreaking run out and India바카라™s tough 2020 final, where Alyssa Healy smashed Shikha Pandey for three consecutive sixes in front of 85,000 at the MCG.
Healy바카라™s blistering 75 off 39 balls helped Australia secure their record fifth Women바카라™s T20 World Cup title.
Kaur's unusual run out is also part of the mix, a split-second moment that shocked the cricket world in 2023.
With India in control during their T20 World Cup semi-final against Australia, needing 41 from 33 deliveries with six wickets in hand, Kaur appeared to be cruising as she ran a seemingly routine two.
But Healy, spotting an opportunity, whipped the bails off after receiving a throw from the deep. Kaur바카라™s bat had gotten stuck in the turf just as she made her ground.
Third umpire replays confirmed she was short, leading to a game-changing dismissal.
