In the sixth match of the Super Smash 2024-25, the Auckland Aces took on the Canterbury Kings at the Eden Park Oval in Auckland. The Magicians won the toss for the game and opted to field first.
Bevon Jacob Impressed With The Bat
Martin Guptill led the batting effort of the Aces as he played a blazing knock of 60 runs from 35 deliveries. Later, Bevon Jacobs, the newest buy of Mumbai Indians, came up with a sparkling cameo of 53 from 33 and gave the team a powerful finish. Guided by the effort of the two batters, Auckland posted a formidable total of 185/8 at the end of their 20 overs.
In the chase, Chad Bowes and Tom Latham provided the Kings with a good start. The partnership set the team in motion towards a comfortable victory. However, the Kings lost a few wickets in the middle phase and put themselves under pressure.
Jacobs Takes The Best Catch Of The Summer
When the Kings needed 14 runs off 8 deliveries at a crucial stage, Bevon Jacobs showed his brilliance in the field and powered the win for the Aces. It was the wicket of Henry Shipley, who could have been a factor in the game ending the other way. It was a length ball outside the off stump. Shipley cleared his front foot and dragged the ball in the air towards the gap between deep square leg and deep mid-wicket.
The ball was travelling fast and going past the boundary. However, Bevon Jacobs ran hard and covered some distance before diving to his right to take a stunning catch.
Bevon Jacobs In IPL 2025
Notably, Mumbai Indians bought Jacobs during the IPL 2025 auction for INR 30 Lakhs. His stunning effort in the Super Smash with both the bat and the ball will delight Hardik Pandya, the current skipper of the Mumbai Indians. He will be impressed by the fact that the team's recruit could be a utility pick in the upcoming edition.
