South Africa’s latest premier T20 competition ‘SA20’ has been rising in popularity with every match as star players are putting on a magnificent exhibition of cricket for their fans. The 11^th match of the season was played between Joburg Super Kings and Pretoria Capitals. The match turned out to be a close affair as it went down to the last over. During the game, a spectacular catch from Will Jacks left the fans speechless.

The incident took place during the last over of the first innings bowled by Eathan Bosch. On the fourth ball, Gerald Coetzee was facing his first ball having just arrived at the crease following the dismissal of Sibonelo Makhanya on the previous ball.

Bosch bowled a low full toss which Coetzee smacked to deep mid-wicket. Jacks, who was fielding in the area, ran towards his right to cover some ground and put his right hand out. The ball miraculously stuck in his hand as he completed a spectacular catch.
