WATCH | UNBELIEVABLE! Mignon du Preez pulls off sensational catch against Australia

While it might have been in a losing cause, there's no denying that Mignon du Preez snapped up one of the catches of the tournament at the Women's Cricket World Cup.

The two unbeaten sides met on Tuesday, but it was Australia who came up trumps, chasing down 272 to win with five wickets in hand thanks to a fine unbeaten 135 by captain Meg Lanning.

However, they were in early trouble and slipped to 45 for 2 as Du Preez pulled off a belter of a catch to remove Rachael Heyns off the bowling of Chloe Tryon for 17.
