The Big Bash League 2024-25 just keeps getting better and Match 10 between Melbourne Renegades and Perth Scorchers gave us a moment that fans won’t forget anytime soon. Mackenzie Harvey pulled off a catch that had everyone on their feet.

Mackenzie Harvey’s Gravity-Defying Leap Broke the Internet

The magic moment came on the first ball of the 16th over. Kane Richardson, doing what he does best, bowled a slower ball around off stump. It cut back in sharply, and Matthew Spoors went for the big slog across the line. But instead of connecting cleanly, he got it off the inside half of the bat, and the ball flew towards mid-wicket.

Harvey, stationed near the edge of the circle, was ready. He tracked the ball as it went high into the air, backpedalled quickly, and then made his move. With perfect timing, he leaped, stretched out his arm, and somehow managed to grab the ball mid-air with one hand. He fell on his back, but the ball stayed secure in his hand.

The crowd erupted. Spoors, who was looking good on 29 off 26 balls, had no choice but to walk back. Mackenzie Harvey’s catch left everyone in total awe.


Cooper Connolly Fighting Lone Battle For Perth Scorchers

Meanwhile, at the time of writing this article, Perth Scorchers are sitting at 106/5 in the 17th over, trying to salvage something from the innings. Spoors’ dismissal has put all the pressure on Cooper Connolly and Nick Hobson. Connolly is doing his best, batting on 40 off 42, while Hobson has just started his innings on 7.

The Renegades bowlers, who have been on fire all game, smell blood. They are relentless, making every run hard to come by. With Harvey’s catch lifting the team’s energy, they will push even harder to keep Perth under 130.
