On Saturday, MI New York's Dewald Brevis emerged as the hero in an electrifying Challenger against Texas Super Kings in the inaugural  Major Cricket League (MLC) 2023. 


Dewald Brevis' catch left the fans in awe

The thrilling encounter was filled with brilliant performances, but Brevis' sensational fielding and batting display ultimately propelled his team to the final.

A spellbinding moment unfolded in the 16th over bowled by Rashid Khan. The Afghan spinner served up an inviting full toss. TSK batter Milind Kumar, anchoring the innings after an early stutter, attempted to launch over the mid-wicket boundary.

However, Kumar's ambitious slog did not achieve the desired connection, leading to an opportunity that Brevis, stationed on the boundary, seized with panache. 

The prodigious South African, showing extraordinary athleticism and quick thinking, initially caught the ball but swiftly lobbed it in the air to avoid stepping over the boundary.

Displaying great agility, he managed to maintain his balance and completed the catch on his second attempt, culminating in Kumar's exit with 37 runs off 34 balls. This crucial wicket significantly swung the match's momentum, leading to TSK being restricted to a relatively moderate total of 158 runs in 20 overs.

However, Brevis' performance on the field was merely a precursor to his heroics with the bat. He steered MINY to a thrilling victory, earning them a coveted spot in the MLC 2023 final. The dynamic batter played a vital knock of 41 runs off 33 deliveries, including a boundary and two sixes, guiding MINY in their successful run chase.

Brevis showed an ice-cool temperament amid the rising tension, holding steady as teammates fell around him. In the face of mounting pressure, his mature performance was instrumental in guiding his team to victory.

Courtesy of this win-win, MI New York will lock horns with the Seattle Orcas in what promises to be an exciting final of MLC 2023 on Monday, July 31.
