Perrin Stuns With Tennis-Style One-Handed Reverse Scoop In The Hundred
During a big cricket game, a young player named Davina Perrin surprised everyone with a very unusual shot.
Instead of using both hands like normal, she hit the ball with one hand, just like a tennis player.
The ball flew to the edge of the field and earned four runs!
Everyone loved it so much that the video went all over the internet.
Her team, Birmingham Phoenix, needed to catch up with the other team's score.
Another player, Ellyse Perry, scored 62 runs without getting out and helped the team win.
They won with five wickets left and eight balls to spare.
Davina is from Wolverhampton and plays cricket for England's younger teams.
She is also famous for being the youngest player ever to hit a hundred in The Hundred tournament.
Even though she scored only eight runs in this game, her one-handed shot was the highlight of the day.
Davina Perrin played a tennis-style one-handed reverse scoop that went for four off Nicola Carey at Edgbaston.
The shot came on the seventh ball of the game, in the second over of Birmingham Phoenix's chase.
Birmingham Phoenix beat MI London by five wickets, reaching 121/5 with eight balls remaining.
