In the ongoing match between Delhi Bulls and Morrisville Samp Army, the Rovman Powell-led side are in deep trouble as Morrisville bowlers have restricted them to a low score. After the end of the first innings, Delhi managed to put just 89 runs on the board. 

More than the bowlers, the fielders had a big role to play in Delhi being restricted to a low total. Notably, 40-year-old Faf du Plessis, who took a one-handed blinder in the thirty-yard circle to draw the first blood. 

Du Plessis' Catch Stuns Shadab Khan

On the fourth ball of the 2nd over, Amir Hamza pitched a fuller delivery that batter Shadab Khan tried to clear over covers. He didn't get the desired timing and it looked as if the ball would land in a no man's land. Meanwhile, Du Plessis jumped high into the air and grabbed onto a stunner with just one hand. 

The catch left everyone stunned in the stadium, including Faf himself as the expression after the catch said it all. Here is the clip of that breathtaking catch in Abu Dhabi T10 playoffs.

Du Plessis Also Stuns Tom Banton With A Brilliant Catch

It was not the only great effort by Du Plessis on the field as he also got rid of opener Tom Banton with a spectacular effort in the same over. In fact on the first ball of Hama's over, Faf took a great catch again standing at covers. 

Faf is constantly playing across various leagues and was recently bought by Delhi Capitals for 2 crores. He was under the scanner for his age as several touted him to not perform at his best. However, Du Plessis has scored two fifty-plus scores in this tournament. 

Talking about the ongoing match, the winner will take on Deccan Gladiators in the finals.
