Welsh fire Roelof van der Merwe took a spectacular catch during match 14 of the Men's Hundred on Thursday, 10 August. The 38-year-old former South African player surprised commentators and fans with the catch on the ground at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Everyone is praising his catch.
The incident occurred during the Birmingham Phoenix's batting innings, when captain Moeen Ali, who had won the toss, elected to bat first. Birmingham captain Moeen tried to play a big shot on Welsh fire David Payne who came to bowl the 67th ball of the innings. The ball went high in the air and van der Merwe ran through the mid-on region to get under the ball. When Roelof steadied himself to catch the ball safely, the ball left his hand and hit his right shoulder. But, then, he took a brilliant catch with his right hand.
Chasing the target, the Welsh Fire team won the match by losing 4 wickets in 85 balls and scoring 116 runs. Most runs for the team came from the bat of Stephen Eskinazi. He played an inning of 43 runs in 18 balls with the help of 6 fours and 2 sixes. At the same time, captain Tom Abel remained unbeaten after scoring 23 runs in 18 balls with the help of 3 fours. Benny Howell took 2 wickets for Birmingham. Shadab Khan and captain Moin Ali got one wicket each.
