Final ODI will be played on Sunday.
Aaron Finch-led Australia might have tied the three-match One Day International series by winning the second match by 7 runs, but it was a jubilant cricket fan who stole the show at the Adelaide Oval by taking a blinder in stands on Friday (November 9).
At the Adelaide Oval, Australian pace superhead Mitchell Starc picked up two wickets, but was also very expensive bowler for the hosts in the match, conceding 51 runs in his 10 overs.
During his spell, Starc launched a delivery for a massive six over the mid-wicket region by Aiden Markram, whose eye-catching shot left the fielders gazing at the ball, as the ball flew over the boundary, and one cricket fan had his eyes firmly over the ball, as he kept his concentration till the end and ended up taking a blinder of a catch in the stands which surprised everyone at the stadium. The fan was seen very happy after taking a blinder of catch as he was cheered by the other fans in the stand.
Meanwhile, Cricket.com.au also expressed their surprise at both –Starc’s delivery and Markram’s shot, as well as, the catch on Twitter. The tweet reads, “This was a serious shot off a rapid Starc delivery, but how’s the catch from Old Mate in the crowd?! #AUSvSA”
Noteworthy, the third and final ODI between South Africa and Australia will be played on Sunday (November 11) at Blundstone Arena followed by one-off T20 International on November 17.
