The catch to out Hetty: wasn't the rule recently changed? Your last contact before catching the ball can't be out the boundary... or was it just a proposed rule?

The catch was legal.

The new rule took effect on 17th June for International games only
and will take full effect from all ICC games in October 2026

Even under the new rule that catch would have been legal though.
The new rule allows for only one hop over the rope, but like i said, it's not applicable yet.
