Jimmy Neesham delivered an incredible moment of brilliance on the field in the SA20 2025, executing a stunning one-handed catch to send Liam Dawson back to the pavilion.
Jimmy Neesham’s spectacular one-handed catch in the SA20 2025
Facing a short-of-a-length delivery from Eathan Bosch in the last over, Dawson attempted a powerful shot, but the ball came off the outside part of his bat, flying wide of extra cover. Neesham, stationed in the infield, moved swiftly to his right. Anticipating the trajectory perfectly, he dove full stretch, extending his right arm. In an extraordinary display of athleticism and hand-eye coordination, he plucked the ball mid-air while diving forward, completing one of the most breathtaking catches of the match. Dawson, who was looking dangerous with a quickfire 25 off 11 balls, had to depart, thanks to Neesham’s heroics. This dismissal not only showcased Neesham’s exceptional fielding skills but also gave Bosch his third wicket, tilting the momentum firmly in favour of the bowling side.

Captain Aiden Markram leads Sunrisers Eastern Cape to victory over Pretoria Capitals
Sunrisers Eastern Cape defeated Pretoria Capitals by 52 runs in the 17th match of the SA20, held at St. George’s Park, Gqeberha, on January 22. Sunrisers captain Aiden Markram was the standout performer, earning the Player of the Match award for his unbeaten 68 off 55 balls.
Eastern Cape faced early trouble after losing three quick wickets within the powerplay, managing just 27 runs in the first six overs. Markram anchored the innings with a calm and composed approach, stitching together vital partnerships with Marco Jansen (24) and Dawson (25). Despite wickets tumbling around him, Markram ensured Eastern Cape reached a defendable total. Dawson’s late flourish lifted the team to 149/7, as Bosch (3/33) and Will Jacks (2/18) troubled the middle order.
The Capitals faltered early in their chase, losing four wickets for just 34 runs during the powerplay. Jansen was unplayable upfront, removing key batters, including Jacks (0) and Rahmanullah Gurbaz (7). Though Marques Ackerman (25) and Keagan Lion-Cachet (28) attempted a brief recovery, Dawson and Jansen kept the pressure on. The Capitals’ lower order failed to offer resistance, and the team was bundled out for just 97 in 16.3 overs.
