NED vs NEP | Twitter reacts to Sompal Kami’s lightning-fast reflex sending Sybrand Engelbrecht packing

Nepal's joy only continued to grow as the 14th oversaw the untimely run-out of Sybrand Engelbrecht. On the first ball of that over, O'Dowd unleashed a powerful straight drive off the bowling of Sompal Kami. The shot was perfectly timed, the ball ripping off the bat at a blistering pace. But in a remarkable display of athleticism and quick reflexes, Kami managed to get his fingers to the ball, deflecting it onto the stumps at the non-striker's end just as Engelbrecht was attempting to scamper through for a single. The deflection caught Engelbrecht short of his ground, and the on-field umpire had no choice but to refer the decision to the TV umpire. Replays confirmed Kami's incredible intervention, with the Nepalese players erupting in wild celebrations at the loss of this crucial Dutch wicket. 

The Twitterverse was similarly abuzz with praise for Kami's exceptional piece of fielding

Wow...Sompal Kami has taken the first wicket for Nepal.❤️
