Faf du Plessis celebrates after taking a sensational catch to dismiss Michael Bracewell in the match between Texas Super Kings (TSK) and MI New York (MINY) in the Major League Cricket. (Sportzpics) Faf du Plessis took a stunning catch to dismiss Michael Bracewell in the second match of the Major League Cricket (MLC) on Friday evening at the Oakland Coliseum. The 40-year-old veteran of the sport leaped to his right to take a blinder in the contest between Texas Super Kings and MI New York. After Adam Milne delivered a slower back of a length delivery, Bracewell flat-batted the ball with decent power. Initially it appeared the ball would evade the ex South Africa captain but Faf, almost 41 now, moved to his right and flew in the air, almost like a bird, to snap it with his right hand.

The fourth wicket of the innings, reducing MINY to 121/4 after 13.2 overs as they chased 186 runs, appeared to be a blip as the Nicholas Pooran-led MI New York looked on course to chasing the total down. Earlier, TSK scored 185/6 in their 20 overs with Devon Conway top-scoring with 65 from 44 balls and Calvin Savage producing a thundering 53 from 34 balls at the bottom end of the innings.
