NEW DELHI: The age-old adage of catches winning matches has lived the test of time. There have been numerous examples of fielders taking a stunning catch either to turn the match on its head or simply to change the course of the game.
The match between Northern Superchargers and London Spirit in The Hundred at Headingley, Leeds witnessed a similar catch on Tuesday.
Put into bat by Northern Superchargers, London Spirit's innings was opened by Michael Pepper and Keaton Jennings.
Pepper lofted the 11th ball of the innings by Reece Topley over mid-on from where Mitchell Santner gave the chase.
Keeping his eyes on the ball that was swirling in the air over his head, Santner charged back from mid-on and completed a fantastic catch with a dive at deep mid-on to dismiss Pepper for 3.
The official X handle of The Hundred shared a video of the catch on their official X handle:
London Spirit scored 111/8 in their 100 balls as Northern Superchargers went on to win the match by 21 runs (DLS Method).
