In the 17th over of the ongoing SA20 league clash between MI Cape Town and Joburg Super Kings, a game-changing moment unfolded. Facing Lizaad Williams, Dewald Brevis attempted a powerful shot, resulting in a top-edge towards mid-off.
Enter Faf du Plessis, whose exceptional fielding stole the spotlight. Positioned in the infield, du Plessis sprinted backward, executing a phenomenal one-handed catch with his right hand. The difficulty level was heightened as he had to swiftly turn around, leaving the crowd in awe.
FAF TOOK A STUNNER….!!! 🔥

On the match front, Rassie van der Dussen, scoring 104 off 50, and Ryan Rickelton, with 98 off 48, teamed up to set a new partnership record, leading MI Cape Town to an impressive total of 243/5 in 20 overs.
Despite MI Cape Town posting a massive total, Faf du Plessis and his team found some comfort in their comeback during the latter part of the first innings. Bowlers Lizaad Williams, Imran Tahir, and Nandre Burger contained the explosiveness of Kieron Pollard and Liam Livingstone effectively.
