On the first ball of the 12th over, Deandra Dottin bowled a back-of-a-length delivery on off as Melie Kerr tried to pull it. She did not get the connection right as the ball flew towards deep mid-wicket. Chinelle Henry ran forward and tried to reverse cup it. The ball though went through her fingers and hit her flush on the face.

She seemed to lose the ball in the light as replays showed that the ball hit Henry’s forehead.
