At Centurion, Pretoria Capitals, led by a spectacular century from Will Jacks, set a formidable total of 204 in their SA20 round-robin clash against Durban’s Super Giants. Opting to bat first, the Capitals provided a thrilling spectacle for the crowd, but the highlight went beyond the cricketing action.
A fortunate spectator, seizing a Kookaburra sailing through the air, clinched victory in the Betway Catch a Million contest, earning a share of the 2 million rand prize distributed among those achieving this remarkable feat throughout the season.
Despite the excitement in the stands, the Pretoria crowd witnessed an even more extraordinary moment during the same fixture. Wayne Parnell, making his return, delivered a perfectly placed ball to Matthew Breetzke in the fifth over.
Seizing the opportunity, Breetzke cleared his front leg and sent the ball soaring deep into the stands over midwicket. The velocity of the shot prompted spectators to clear the landing zone, but one individual had a different plan.
