BBL 2021-22: Sean Abbott takes a flying catch to dismiss Chris Lynn – WATCH

Sean Abbott starred with the bat, ball and in the field to power Sydney Sixers’ to one of the most remarkable victories in BBL history, a tense two-wicket win over Brisbane Heat at the SCG.

Apart from taking a four-wicket haul in the first innings, he stunned the fans with ‘one of the catches of the decade’.

It all happened in the fourth over of the match. With the Heat reduced to 13/2, opening batter Chris Lynn smashed a Ben Dwarshuis delivery wide of cover, but A🔴bbott somehow made ground, dived, stuck out his right hand and plucked a bl🍌inder to send the Heat captain packing.

“That’s the catch of the summer,” Fox Cricket commentator and former Sixer pacer Brett Lee said.
