In a moment of sheer brilliance, Ferreira anticipated the trajectory, turned sharply, and executed an extraordinary leap, extending his hand mid-air to snatch the ball with precision. This exceptional display of athleticism not only dismissed Muthusamy for 8 but also highlighted the pivotal role of sharp fielding in T20 cricket.

Rain-interrupted as Pretoria Capitals post 138/8 against Joburg Super Kings
The 10th match at The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg, saw an eventful first innings After opting to bat, Capitals faced early setbacks with Rahmanullah Gurbaz dismissed for a duck and Will Jacks falling for 15, reducing them to 48/2 within six overs. Kyle Verreynne anchored the innings with a well-crafted 39 off 31 balls, but his dismissal just before the halfway mark triggered a middle-order collapse.
Rilee Rossouw, Liam Livingstone and Marques Ackerman struggled against disciplined bowling led by Moeen Ali, who claimed 2/21 in his four overs. Ferreira’s all-round brilliance shone through as he dismissed Gurbaz and Neesham, while also taking a spectacular catch to remove Muthusamy in the penultimate over. James Neesham’s quickfire 30 off 21 provided a late surge, helping the Capitals reach a modest total of 138/8. The Super Kings’ bowlers, including Imran Tahir (1/17) and Evan Jones (1/3), exploited the conditions effectively, keeping the scoring rate in check throughout. As rain continues to hover, the Super Kings will eye a controlled chase to secure their campaign momentum.
