VIDEO: The fielder jumped in the air… took a surprising catch with one hand, the batsman was stunned.

New Delhi. Nick Kelly made a lot of headlines by taking a wonderful catch in the last match of his debut T20 series. He did not do anything special with the bat but stole the show in fielding. 32-year-old Kelly made his debut in international cricket on the current tour of New Zealand. In the fifth and last T20 match, Kelly took the catch of South African batsman Rubin Harman while diving to his left and caught it with one hand. Whoever saw this catch of Kelly was stunned. For some time no one could believe his eyes. Even the batsman was surprised.

The fifth and final T20 match played between New Zealand and South Africa in Christchurch will be remembered not only for the decision of the series but also for an incredible incident that happened on the field. The series was tied at 2-2 and both the teams were pushing for the title. Batting first, South Africa had established a good rhythm in the middle overs, but a magical effort by Nick Kelly in the 16th over changed the course of the match.

When South African batsman Rubin Harman tried to play a big shot on a length delivery, the ball rose very high in the air. It seemed that the ball would fall in the safe area, but running from mid-off, Nick Kelly covered a long distance and, showing the agility of a leopard, took a brilliant low-catch with one hand. This amazing catch filled new enthusiasm in the Kiwi team.

Talking about the match, on the basis of Connor Esterhaijn's career-best innings of 75 runs on 33 balls, South Africa defeated New Zealand by 33 runs and won the five-match series 3-2. This is Esterhagen's second consecutive half-century. He scored the first fifty of his career by playing an inning of 57 runs in the last match. When invited to bat first, South Africa scored 187 runs for four wickets. In response, the New Zealand team could score only 154 runs for eight wickets. When Esterhagen came to the crease, South Africa's score was 76 runs for two wickets in the 11th over. This wicketkeeper batsman, who was batting at third position in the last match, was sent to fourth position after Rubin Harman (39 runs in 31 balls) in this match.

South Africa had scored 43 runs for one wicket in the power play, but after 10 overs the team's score was only 76 runs for two wickets. The team added 111 runs in the last 10 overs, in which Esterhaijn and Dianne Forrester (21 not out in 13 balls) made a partnership of 61 runs in just 27 balls for the fourth wicket. The 24-year-old right-handed batsman hit five fours and six sixes in his innings. He was given life by Bevon Jacob by taking a catch on the ball of Jack Fox at the score of 49 runs. South Africa played 47 dot balls in its innings, but the team compensated for this with 15 fours and 10 sixes.

While chasing the target in front of excellent bowling and amazing fielding, New Zealand's batting faltered and the team came under pressure. Fast bowler Gerald Coetzee took two wickets for 21 runs in four overs, while Otniel Bartman used good variety to take two wickets for 33 runs. Spinner Prenelon Subrayan gave only 22 runs in four overs and captain Keshav Maharaj also gave a tough test to the batsmen. After the powerplay, New Zealand's score was 46 runs for two wickets and after 10 overs it was only 65 runs for three wickets. For New Zealand, Jacobs made the maximum contribution by scoring 36 runs in 19 balls.
