The ongoing season of the SA20, South Africa’s own franchise cricket league so far has produced multiple exciting moments. The match in Sunday was among those thrilling encounters cricket fans witnessed in this season. The catch taken by Ryan Rickelton was absolute a blinder. On Sunday, Paarl Royals team achieved a resounding victory by defeating MI Cape Town by 7 wickets.

Ryan Rickelton took a terrific catch in SA20

The entire incident occurred in the eighth over of Paarl Royals’ innings. MI Cape Town all-rounder Corbin Bosch bowled this over, and with his second ball, he trapped Paarl Royals left-handed batsman Rubin Harman at stumps.

28-year-old Rubin looked to play a pull shot for a boundary, but he made a mistake in attempting it, and Corbin Bosch’s ball took the edge of his bat and traveled through the air, straight to deep man. With no fielder stationed at that position, MI wicketkeeper Ryan Rickelton took the responsibility of taking the catch himself, sprinting with cheetah speed to take a brilliant catch almost near the boundary.

SA20 itself shared a video of the entire incident on its official account, which you can watch below. It’s worth noting that Rubin Harman was dismissed for just 18 runs off 24 balls in this match. Ryan Rickelton also failed to make a significant impact with the bat, managing just 17 runs off 18 balls. Speaking of Corbin Bosch, he scored 9 runs off 5 balls and took 1 wicket for 9 runs in 2 overs.

MI won the toss and elected to bat first. However, captain Rashid Khan ‘s decision proved to be a complete mistake, as his team was all out for just 88 runs in 18.4 overs. In response, Paarl Royals achieved the target in just 14 overs and won by 7 wickets.
