The catch broke a 97-run stand.
Faf du Plessis took a brilliant catch to dismiss Michael Bracewell during the second match of Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 at the Oakland Coliseum. The 40-year-old dived to his right and held on to a stunner in the close game between Texas Super Kings (TSS) and MI New York (MINY), where Texas won by just three runs.
On the second ball of the 14th over, Adam Milne bowled a slower back-of-a-length delivery which Michael Bracewell hit hard with a flat bat. The ball seemed like it would go past former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis, but the experienced fielder moved quickly to his right and jumped in the air to take a stunning one-handed catch with his right hand.
The TSK captain stayed calm and held on to the ball while landing. The catch broke a 97-run stand and left MI New York at 121 for 4 in 13.2 overs.
