South Africa vs West Indies, 1st T20I, West Indies tour of South Africa, 2026 - Player Highlights

Linde to Hetmyer, out Caught by Brevis at deep mid-wicket!! Excellent take from Brevis. Hetmyer took on the full toss and went really hard on the slog on the leg-side. Skewed it off the thick inside half and Brevis took a well-judged catch at deep mid-wicket. Took it with both hands, realized he was gonna lose momentum and then tossed the ball in the air, before grabbing the rebound. Hetmyer c Brevis b Linde 48(32) [4s-4 6s-3]
