The fans are being treated to some fantastic cricketing action during The Hundred 2024. On Saturday, July 27, Birmingham Phoenix’s Dan Mousley took a spectacular catch to dismiss London Spirit’s Adam Rossington.

In the 23rd ball of the first innings, Rossington played a flick shot off Sean Abbott but only managed to find a top edge that almost went over the boundary ropes. Mousley kept his eyes on the ball and took it on the edge of the boundary line at deep square leg. However, he couldn’t stop his momentum and was forced to toss the ball up in the air before stepping outside the field of play. The 23-year-old rushed back onto the field and dived full stretch in front to grab the ball with both hands, inches above the ground.

Tom Milne, who was stationed at short fine-leg before the delivery, rushed to take the catch as well. He put in a dive to catch the ball and it almost led to a nasty collision with Mousley. However, both players escaped unscathed as an elated Mousley kicked the ball in celebration of his outstanding fielding effort. Fans in the stadium were in disbelief after the youngster’s athletic effort.

Abbott went on to bag a four-for as London Brave were restricted to 127/7 in the first innings. Andre Russell was the top-scorer in the first innings as he slammed an unbeaten 37 off just 20 balls. In reply, Birmingham got off to a disappointing start as they lost their first four wickets for 20 runs.
