NZ vs SA: [WATCH] Glenn Phillips’ Sensational Diving Catch Leaves World In Awe

In the ongoing second Test match between New Zealand and South Africa, Glenn Phillips left spectators in awe with an incredible diving catch to his right at gully for the second time in the game. On the third day of play, a less experienced South African team was asserting dominance over the Kiwis, particularly with Keegan Petersen and David Bedingham forming a solid partnership of 98 runs for the fifth wicket, following their lead of 31 runs in the first innings.

However, Phillips intervened with a stunning catch at the gully, breaking the pivotal partnership. During the 60th over, Petersen executed a superb backfoot shot towards the gap between gully and square, only for Phillips to stretch to his right and execute a breathtaking catch. The dismissal saw Petersen departing after scoring 43 runs off 79 balls, featuring six fours.

Subsequently, the Proteas suffered a collapse, managing only 235 runs, leaving New Zealand with a target of 267 runs to win. It’s worth noting that New Zealand currently leads the two-match Test series 1-0.

This set the tone for what would turn out to be a thrilling encounter between the two sides, with Phillips’ fielding brilliance emerging as one of the highlights of the game.
