Texas Super Kings captain Faf du Plessis was blazing away in the Challenger of Major League Cricket against San Francisco Unicorns on Friday, but a moment of brilliance in the field from his counterpart Corey Anderson not just put an end to the knock but also turned out to be one of the outstanding moments of the league's 2024 season.
After Finn Allen's stroke-filled century (101 off 53 balls) led the Unicorns to a commanding total of 200 for 6 at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, Du Plessis came out firing to smash 45 off just 22 balls, but just when he looked to be setting up the chase, and possibly taking the game away from the opponents, Anderson's stunning one-handed catch at mid-off sent the South African veteran back in the hut.
