Jimmy Neesham catches with one hand in SA20 League©Twitter
The SA20 league is rapidly climbing the popularity charts. Employing some of the best players in the world, the South African T20 league produces breathtaking action every day. Jimmy Neesham, who plays for Pretoria Capitals in the league, produced a one-handed stunner in the game against Durban Super Giants, leaving the cricketing world in awe. Fieldin on point, Neesham saw the ball coming quite a distance to his left. The New Zealand all-rounder put in a stunning diving effort, grabbing the ball with one hand to complete the rejection.
When he saw Neesham complete the fly ball, Durban batter Wian Mulder couldn’t believe his luck. His reaction said it all. Here’s the video:

As this is the inaugural season of the SA20 league, Neesham said the league feels a bit like the Indian Prmeier League. ‘Yes, it was amazing. It’s obviously a fantastic tournament, the atmosphere was great because the whole thing, a pretty incredible crowd and a pretty incredible atmosphere. So it’s been really fun so far. We’re only half way through so hopefully it will continue to perform in the coming weeks,” he said in an interaction with SA20.
“It almost feels a bit like the IPL. The four foreign players and each team are clearly of very high quality and I am also very impressed with the quality of the local South African players,” he added.
Neesham also explained how the Pretoria Capitals handle the pressure of games and how they handle each result. We’re not going to blow teams off the park and win every game. So we weren’t really disappointed with yesterday’s performance. It’s like some really good innings from some really quality players and Jos Buttler and David Miller and you know that happens every now and then but the quality of the players is higher so we haven’t changed much going into this game . Just go again and be a little better than yesterday.”
