Finn Allen spotted the length and rocked back to slam that ball back towards the bowler. Kenjige dived to his right in reflex and took a stunning catch that left Allen astounded.
MI New York star bowler Nosthush Kenjige produced a catch that cricket fans are going to remember for a very long time on the third delivery of the first over during the 16th game of Major League Cricket 2024, which took place on July 19 at Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium in Texas. The slow left-arm spinner struck the off and middle stump lines with a quite short delivery. However, when former RCB batter Finn Allen saw the length, he rocked back and returned the ball to the bowler. Following this, Kenjige dived to his right and made an incredible catch that stunned Unicorns opening batter Allen.

Meanwhile, the San Francisco Unicorns team appears very threatening owing to the players like Finn Allen, Jake Fraser-McGurk, and Matt Short positioned in the top order. The management was anticipating much of the same in this game considering Finn Allen and Short’s strength hitting at the top has guided the squad through a couple of matches. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals star batter Fraser-McGurk was dropped owing to his poor form, whereas Allen and Short seem magnificent at this moment.
Noshthush Kenjige, a veteran left-arm orthodox spinner, opened the bowling for MI captain Kieron Pollard. The trick was effective, as Kenjige ousted Allen in the opening over. Meanwhile, speaking about the game here, MI New York and the San Francisco Unicorns faced off in the 16th game of the ongoing showpiece event.
