In an extraordinary display of fielding, Bradley Currie executed a remarkable flying catch near the boundary rope, showcasing one of the best catches ever witnessed in white-ball cricket. The catch was taken off the bowling of Tymal Mills and resulted in Benny Howell’s dismissal. Howell, who had just hit a boundary and was batting on 25 off 13 balls, was starting to pose a threat to Sussex’s chances of winning. With 23 runs required from 11 balls for Hampshire, Howell struck what seemed to be a boundary-bound shot towards an unguarded area on the leg side. However, Currie sprinted to his left, covering a considerable distance within seconds, and leaped into the air to grab the ball in a jaw-dropping manner. The catch left commentators and spectators spellbound, and a video of the catch quickly went viral on social media.
