Watch: Migael Pretorius’ stunning juggling catch from Match 6 of SA20 leaves fans speechless

South Africa’s latest premier T20 tournament ‘SA20′ is rising in popularity every day as fans are getting to see some exciting cricketing action. The T20 extravaganza continued on Saturday as Pretoria Capitals and Sunrisers Eastern Cape locked horns against each other. The match turned out to be a high-scoring affair as both teams had some explosive batters in their lineup. Apart from the monstrous shots, a stunning catch from Migael Pretorius became the highlight of the match.

The incident took place in the second innings during the 11^th over bowled by Eathan Bosch. On the third ball, Bosch bowled a wide delivery which Aiden Markram fetched from way outside off stump and tried to smack over long off. However, he failed to time the ball well as it went high up in the air towards long on. Pretorius, who was stationed at long-on took a terrific juggling catch as the ball slipped out of his hands twice but he finally managed to grab it on the third attempt.
