ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: [Watch] Daryl Mitchell Takes A Stunning Catch To Dismiss David Miller

In the 32nd match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, taking place at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, New Zealand and South Africa engaged in a thrilling battle. South Africa, having been put in to bat first, continued their impressive form by posting a commanding total of 357/4 in their allocated 50 overs.

Amidst a dazzling display of strokeplay by the Proteas’ batsmen throughout the innings, one particular moment stood out – Daryl Mitchell’s remarkable catch at the boundary. In the 50th over, bowled by Jimmy Neesham, David Miller attempted to clear the long-off boundary with a mighty shot. However, the ball appeared destined to cross the boundary until Mitchell, with remarkable awareness, managed to release the ball just before falling over the boundary. He then quickly repositioned himself inside the field of play and skillfully secured the catch, leaving the crowd and his teammates in awe.

While Miller’s aggressive innings yielded 53 runs from just 30 deliveries, featuring two fours and four towering sixes, it was Mitchell’s exceptional fielding effort that truly shone. Earlier in the innings, South Africa had lost their captain, Temba Bavuma, for 24 runs off 28 balls when he was caught at slip by none other than Daryl Mitchell himself in the ninth over, with the team’s score at 38/1.
