Watch: In the SA20 match, Tom Abell's Marvellous Fielding Effort Leaves Fans Stunned
Durban Super Giants registered a stunning victory of 35 runs over Sunrisers Eastern Cape in Match No. 5 of the ongoing SA20 League on Saturday. Choosing to bat first, the Super Giants posted a whopping total of 225/3 in 20 overs, with JJ Smuts playing a magnificent knock of 75 off 38 balls. Later, the Sunrisers were restricted to 190 runs at the loss of nine wickets, despite a 65-run knock from Tom Abell. However, this match grabbed a lot of attention after Tom Abell showed a terrific fielding effort to save six runs for his team.
In the 18th over of the Super Giants’ innings, Smuts played a powerful shot towards the long ball, which looked like an easy maximum. However, Abell showed a masterclass effort as he jumped and collected the ball, releasing it with his back hand.
