In an electrifying moment at the Wanderers Stadium, MI Cape Town‘s young sensation Dewald Brevis pulled off one of the catches of the SA20 2025 season to see-off Joburg Super Kings captain Faf du Plessis.
Dewald Brevis grabs the catch of the season
During the 8th over of JSK’s chase, Du Plessis – known for his aggressive batting – was on 30 off 23 balls when he faced Kagiso Rabada. Du Plessis attempted an inside-out drive off a length ball pitched just outside off. The ball soared towards the boundary, seemingly destined for a six, but Brevis, stationed at long-off, had other plans.
With agility and foresight, Brevis sprinted, leapt, and managed to get his fingers under the ball just before it could cross the boundary. In a display of presence of mind, after the initial catch, he flicked the ball back into the air as he teetered on the edge of the rope, then leapt again to complete what was a breathtaking catch. The crowd erupted in applause, and the moment was soon etched into SA20 folklore.
