A one-handed stunner from South Australia’s Cameron Valente robbed Victoria batsman Peter Handscomb of a century during the 20th match of the Marsh One Day Cup 2019-20.
Handscomb was approaching to his well-deserving ton when a diving, Superman-esque effort from Valente at mid-off dismissed𒀰 the Victoriaﷺn for 87 off 75.
Valente ran metres to his left and leaped with one hand outstretched to take one of th🍰e best catch of the season.
Cricket fans were stunned by the athletic feat, while Fox Sports commentator Mark Howard described it as ‘very, very special’.
“You will not see a better catch than that,” Howard said on air.
“Valente takes to the sky like superman without the cape. One-handed brilliance.
“And Handscomb shakes his head and says ‘how can I be out?’.”
Catch of the summer?
