“Wellington Firebirds’ Logan van Beek on Saturday claimed a staggering catch against Norther Knights in the Super Smash league. The Dutch player’s flying catch saw Brett Hampton depart with only three runs against his name. Wellington won the match by 80 runs and maintained their top spot on the table with four wins in as many games. Super Smash- New Zealandu2019s premier domestic T20 competition saw the Wellington Firebirds lock horns with Northern Knights at the Basin Reserve stadium in Wellington. Setting a 185 run target owing to opener Finn Allen’s well paced 75 and Conway’s 45 run knocks, the home team managed to ground their opponents at 51-6 after eight overs.u00a0. However, Brett Hampton who can slog good balls for big hits was still on thr crease. In the 10th over when Hampton went for a lofted shot to a Micheal Bracewell delivery in between deep mid-wicket and deep square-leg, he must’ve aimed for a boundary. But Van Beek, who intercepted the shot as he came in in running from mid-wicket threw his body and claimed a jaw-dropping catch. Donny 30, went full tilt on a dive and stuck out a hand at full stretch. The ball stuck to his palms and Hampton could only watch his dismissal with sheer distraught. Considering the height and the wind current, the catch and judgement can be described as ‘once in an age’.u00a0u00a0. “I just somehow pulled it off. I’m not sure how it happened, but it happened. My tactic is, once I see it, I just put my head down and run as fast as I can, then it’s just about giving it a chance…you just have to go for it,” Van Beek said as quoted by New Zealand Herald.u00a0u00a0. #LoganVanBeek #T20Cricket #T20League #Cricketu00a0.”
