Time will go, but South Africa’s fielding standards hardly undergo a dip. Another day in the office when a Proteas cricketer left everyone in the field stunned as Lungi Ngidi backpedaled and chased the ball to end up executing an impeccable catch in match eleven of the 2025 Champions Trophy.
The Champions Trophy blues intensified for the Three Lions after they elected to bat first on facing South Africa in their last league stage match. They lost Phil Salt and Jamie Smith early before starts from Ben Duckett and Joe Root steered them past the hundred-run mark at the one-third of the innings mark. However, they lost wickets in succession before Jos Buttler was left stranded with the tail. This is when a scintillating catch from Ngidi made further inroads in the English lineup.
Following a couple of fuller deliveries at the stumps, Kagiso Rabada bowled another full-pitched delivery at the middle and leg that Overton tried to scoop over the inner circle down the V region. However, he got the outside half on the connection, and the white rock swirled behind the inner ring. To everyone’s surprise, Ngidi, from mid on, backtracked the ball and dived forward and tumbled before completing the catch. Subsequently, Rabada was late,d and Ngidi received hugs from all around while Overton was stunned, and so was the Twitterverse.
WOW!
