Australian all-rounder Cameron Green showcased his brilliance by grabbing an impressive catch to dismiss West Indies batsman Roston Chase in the second ODI in Sydney on Sunday (February 4). The remarkable catch occurred in the 41st over of the West Indies innings when Sean Abbott bowled a good-length delivery, and Chase played it towards mid-wicket.
Green executed a full-stretch dive to his left, using his fingertips to pluck the ball. Known for his skills at gully, Green displayed a similar excellence in the mid-wicket region.
