However, following the fiery incident, the opener could face only a couple of overs against Zimbabwe. Brad Evans bowled another short ball to Rickelton, and this time, he got success. Rickelton tried to play a pull shot. But the ball did not come onto the bat nicely.
The ball went high towards the long-on area. Fielder Ryan Burl first ran forward, thinking the ball would fall short. But he instantly realized the ball was going over his head and then displayed superb athletic effort. He then turned around and ran back fast.
It was a tough adjustment, yet he kept his eyes on the ball and took a stunning catch, removing Rickelton for 31 runs off 22 balls. Presently, South Africa needs 41 runs in 49 balls to beat Zimbabwe in the Super 8 game in Delhi.
