Dewald Brevis’ Spectacular Catch Steals the Show in SA20 Clash
In a thrilling SA20 encounter at the Wanderers, MI Cape Town’s Dewald Brevis delivered a moment of magic with a jaw-dropping boundary catch to dismiss Joburg Super Kings’ captain, Faf du Plessis. The electrifying catch occurred during the first ball of the eighth over, bowled by Kagiso Rabada, as du Plessis, batting on 30, seemed poised to hit a six.
Brevis, often referred to as “Baby AB” for his extraordinary cricketing skills, showcased his athleticism on the slippery Johannesburg outfield. Just when it looked like du Plessis had secured another boundary, Brevis leapt into action, intercepting the ball inches from the rope. He managed to throw it into the air, dove back in, and completed the catch, leaving players and fans in sheer disbelief. After a comprehensive review by the third umpire, the decision was confirmed, earning Brevis widespread acclaim.
Despite Brevis’ heroics and Kagiso Rabada’s impressive bowling figures of 2/10, MI Cape Town faced a rain-affected setback. The match concluded with Joburg Super Kings emerging victorious by six runs through the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method.
Joburg Super Kings were set a revised target of 136 runs after rain interruptions, and they were comfortably positioned at 82/3 in 11.3 overs when the rain returned, ending the contest prematurely. Leus du Plooy and Wihan Lubbe were at the crease, securing four crucial points for their team.
Earlier, MI Cape Town had a rocky start at 30/4, but a stellar partnership between George Linde (48) and Delano Potgieter (44) propelled them to a total of 140/6. However, their efforts were overshadowed by the rain and Brevis’ unforgettable catch.
