SA20 2023: Jimmy Neesham pulled off two blinders against Durban's Super Giants

Jimmy Neesham has been tremendous in the field so far in the ongoing SA20 T20 league match against Durban Super Giants. Fielding in the 28th match of the season, Jimmy took three catches for Pretoria Capitals, which included two absolute blinders by the Kiwi all-rounder. 

First, he sent Quinton de Kock back to the dressing room by taking a stunner of his own bowling, to break the opening partnership of 76. And then the one-handed blinder at point to dismiss Wiaan Mulder on the last ball of the 14th over at the score of 170 for 4.

Let's have a look at both the catches by Jimmy Neesham

@mufaddal_vohra Y'all must see — Ravindra Jadeja's diving catch to dismiss Kane Williamson in the 2019 WC semi-final. Suresh Raina's stunning catch to dismiss Marcus Trescothick in the 2007 T20 WC. Ashwin's acrobatic catch to dismiss Steve Smith in the 2017 Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Powered by the solid opening stand between de Kock and Ben McDermott, followed by a brilliant unbeatern hundred by Heinrich Klaasen, (104* off 44 balls), consisting of 10 fours and six sixes, DSG scored a mammoth 254 for 4 in their 20 overs. He was accompanied by Matthew Breetzke, who scored blistering unbeaten 46 runs off 21 with five fours and three sixes, helping the Super Giants to go past 250.
