A catch by Suryakumar Yadav played an important role in making Team India the champion in the T20 World Cup 2024. Something similar has now been seen in England's county cricket. In county cricket, an exciting match was played between Glamorgan and Gloucestershire at Cheltenham College Ground. In this match of County Championship Division Two, a catch decided the result of the match. It was no less than a miraculous catch.
In this match of the County Championship, Glamorgan had to score 593 runs in the fourth innings to win. But in response to this target, the Glamorgan team was all out after scoring 592 runs.
If Glamorgan had chased this target, it would have been the biggest run chase in the history of the County Championship. But to stop Glamorgan from making history, Gloucestershire wicketkeeper James Bracey took a miraculous catch.Glamorgan needed 2 runs in the last over to win this match. This over was bowled by Ajit Singh Dale from Gloucestershire. Glamorgan batsmen could score only 1 run on the first 5 balls of this over. In such a situation, Glamorgan needed 1 run to win on the last ball of the match and they had only 1 wicket in hand.
Then batsman Jamie McIlroy tried to hit the last ball of Ajit Singh Dale straight, but the ball took the edge of the bat and went towards wicketkeeper James Bracey. The special thing is that Bracey was not even wearing a glove on his hand, despite this James Bracey jumped in the air and caught the ball with one hand. Due to his brilliant catch, this match ended in a draw. Otherwise, Glamorgan's team could have created history by chasing the biggest runs.At the start of the last over of the match Glamorgan needed two runs to win and Gloucestershire needed one wicket for victory
