International Cricket Update: Catches win matches is one of those cricket clich-s that has grown in popularity over the years. Taking high catches, on the other hand, maybe tough.
Taking some catches may be exceedingly tough for boundary raiders, and mistakes can be made in the excitement of the moment. During one match in the Caribbean Premier League 2021, something similar occurred.
A match between the Trinbago Knight Riders and the Jamaica Tallawahs was taking place in the tournament's 19th game, which is noted for thrilling the crowd. TKR was batting on 104 for 3 after 17 overs in the first innings of the match. However, they were able to score 14 and 21 runs in the next two overs, giving them some momentum going into the final over.
While TKR skipper Kieron Pollard hit two massive sixes in the first three deliveries, it was the fourth delivery that provided the most drama. Pollard attempted to relaunch the ball provided by Migael Pretorius, but he was unable to do so due to a lack of time. The ball flew straight up into the air, and Veerasammy Permaul dived beneath it only to drop the catch.
Tim Seifert and Pollard both recognised he wasn't going to toss it soon since no one was backing up to the stumps as he was gathering the ball and throwing it back to the middle. The duo had already squeezed out two runs at this point, but they decided to go for a third. Permaul attempted a straight shot but missed the stumps.
TKR ended on 167 for 4, having accumulated 63 runs from the last three overs. They dismissed Tallawahs for 92 all out and won the match by 75 runs.
