The incident happened while Somerset batter Craig Overton was batting with Ben Sanderson bowling for Northants; the bowler bowled a full slower delivery, Overton thought he could have a maximum before Willey did the impossible by catching the ball in the air and throwing it to his teammate Zaib, who had a simple grab.

Under pressure, David Willey became the spiderman for his team as the skipper’s catch inspired the team to win the game and qualify for the final, as Overton, after striking the ball to the boundary on the previous ball, failed to deliver and was out for 5 runs.
Northamptonshire defends a low total
Somerset, while chasing, had a worst start with Willey doing the job in the first ball, dismissing Tom Banton for a golden duck as they were reduced to 12/3 at one stage. Then they had a good partnership with Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Will Smeed stitching 62 runs between them and stabilising the collapse.
"That's like red rag to a bull to me"- David Willey after the win in the semi-final
After winning the match, David Willey said the Somerset side thought they won the match after scoring such a low total as they were overconfident, which acted as a motivation for him and his team.
"Look, do you know what? There was a moment I walked out there, as we were going out for that second half, and they looked like they thought they'd just won it. That's what it looked like to me, and that's like red rag to a bull to me."
"Coming from little old Northampton, I don't like that. It really got me revved up and generally speaking when I'm revved up I play my best cricket, so it was very satisfying."
