In order to complete the dismissal with a single hand, the 42-year-old Dwayne Bravo shifted to his right and fully extended his body, holding on just a few yards outside the inner circle. Given the athleticism needed for a seasoned cricket player of his age competing at this level, the effort was much praised.
Richard Levi and du Plessis went out to start the batting together at Sharjah as the South Africa Champions batted first in the game. One of the most seasoned batters in the South Africa Champions lineup, Du Plessis, was dismissed before he could establish a significant impact at the top of the order. possibly the tournament’s greatest catch. What a snag! What an entertainer… “Young Dwayne Bravo, 42,” the pundit remarked.

The ball was hit in Dwayne Bravo’s direction when he was in the outfield. He committed completely to his right side, extended his arm, and finished the take with one hand only a few yards outside the inner circle rather than letting it pass him.
The ejection stood out because of his location, his ability to read the flight of the ball, and his courage to take a risky opportunity. The catch put further pressure on the middle order of the South Africa Champions to rebuild the innings at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, terminating du Plessis’s innings and giving the West Indies Champions an early lead over the reigning champions.
