In a thrilling encounter between South Africa and New Zealand during the 32nd match of the 2023 World Cup, the Proteas set a daunting target of 358 runs for the Blackcaps. It was a match filled with incredible moments, but one that truly stood out was Daryl Mitchell's exceptional catch in the 50th over.


The Proteas' David Miller, who had just reached his half-century in the match, attempted to go big against James Neesham's delivery in the final over of the innings. Miller's lofted shot seemed destined for a boundary over long off, but it was Daryl Mitchell's acrobatic fielding that stole the spotlight. Positioned near the boundary ropes, Mitchell leaped to his right and plucked the ball out of the air, all while maintaining his balance precariously close to the boundary line.

It was a breathtaking display of athleticism and skill as Mitchell momentarily lost his balance but managed to release the ball back into the field before stepping beyond the boundary. He then calmly re-entered the field and completed the catch cleanly. The third umpire confirmed the catch after reviewing the TV replays, leaving everyone in awe of Mitchell's remarkable effort.

As of the time of writing, the Proteas have posted a final score of 357/4 after 50 overs, thanks in no small part to moments of brilliance like Daryl Mitchell's sensational catch.
