VIDEO | South Africa wicket-keeper makes turn in opposite direction to grab a stunner

The South African cricket team ended their three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka on a high after completing a clean sweep by winning the third and last T20I on Sunday at The Wanderers in Johannesburg. Lasith Malinga-led Sri Lanka suffered a collapse in the batting order after the dismissal of Niroshan Dickwella and were bowled out for 137 in the 16 over itself.

Things could have gone differently if Lankan opener, Dickwella, remained at the crease for a longer period as he looked in good touch with the bat early on in the second innings. Duminy’s tactic worked like a charm after Phehlukwayo managed to get the important wicket of Dickwella on the second delivery itself. Dickwella has a knack of playing some unorthodox shots, but he found an unorthodox manner to get dismissed as well.

Phehlukwayo bowled a slower ball angled down leg and Dickwella was on the move already but had to delay the pull shot and in doing so, he dragged the ball onto his helmet. This forced Proteas wicket-keeper, Sinethemba Qeshile to make a last-gasp effort to dive in the opposite direction in which he was moving and pull off a stunning catch behind the wickets.
