In a nail-biting clash at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, the San Francisco Unicorns (SFU) edged out the Texas Super Kings (TSK) by ten runs, securing their place in the finals of Major League Cricket 2024 (MLC). The match, a spectacle of skill and tenacity, saw several standout performances and a moment of brilliance that proved pivotal.

Corey Anderson’s stunning catch

The highlight of the match was undoubtedly the sensational catch by San Francisco’s skipper Corey Anderson. With Carmi le Roux bowling a back-of-length delivery angling wide outside off, Faf du Plessis attempted a slash shot but only managed to toe-end it. Anderson, displaying remarkable athleticism and reflexes, leapt mid-air to snatch the ball with his left hand. His incredible catch not only dismissed the dangerous du Plessis, who was threatening to take the game away within the powerplay, but it also lifted his team’s spirits with its inspirational effort.
