In the 20th match of the Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2024, New Zealand cricketer Mark Chapman delivered a stunning performance with his fielding skills, most notably by taking a brilliant catch to dismiss Muhammad Waseem. The match between Dambulla Sixers and Colombo Strikers saw Chapman’s agility and athleticism shine through.

Mark Chapman’s spectacular fielding display

During the second inning, on the 5th ball of the 2nd over, bowler Nuwan Pradeep sent a delivery that Waseem tried to hit for a boundary. Having already scored 14 runs in that over, Waseem seemed poised for another big hit. However, Chapman had other plans. Channelling his inner Superman, Chapman soared through the air and made an extraordinary diving catch, halting Waseem’s momentum and sending him back to the pavilion. This remarkable effort showcased Chapman’s exceptional fielding prowess.

This catch was not Chapman’s only contribution to the field. Earlier, in the 1st over of the second inning, he had also taken a crucial catch to dismiss Angelo Perera. These pivotal moments by Chapman were instrumental in restricting the Colombo Strikers’ run chase.
