Travis Head destroys a spectacular diving catch from the substitute fielders
Australia’s middle-order batsman Travis Head was rejected after a stunning catch by the substitute fielder Anderson Philip. The incident took place on the final ball of the 65th over. Justin Greaves closed an entire delivery outside, and the head tried a scaffolding drive but did it incorrectly.
The ball became higher than the mid-off and wide. Philip spread and launched in a full-different dive, managing both hands under the ball as his elbow touched the ground. The head had to leave in the dressing room after scoring 20 runs off 53 balls, struggling at 189/6.
