AUS v SA 2018: WATCH- Police officer takes an outstanding catch in the stands before falling off

Almost all the catches were dropped by the crowd during third ODI between Australia and South Africa.

Shaun Marsh gave Australia a hope in the series decider ODI against South Africa with his almost run-a-ball ton (106 off 102) on Sunday. Although his innings wasn't enough to secure the game and chase down 321 runs, Marsh did entertain the crowd with seven fours and four big hits.

One of his sixes was caught by a security personnel standing beyond the ropes. It was the 30th over of Australia's chase when Marsh launched one into the stands which went straight into the hands of Tasmania Police officer and he did well to keep a hold on it despite falling off after taking the catch. 

There were overall 18 sixes were smashed in the game and the hits which went in the crowd was dropped until the security personnel pulled it off. 

Cricket Australia shared the video on Twitter and wrote, "CLASSIC! The local fans were having all sorts of catching problems today until old mate Frank stepped up to save the day! Outstanding." 

South Africa won the three-match series by 2-1. In the third and last game, they were put in to bat by Australia. The decision looked good as the Aussie pacers managed to remove three of Proteas batsman in just 55 runs. But after that, it was Faf du Plessis and David Miller's marathon run. They stitched up a partnership of 252-run partnership. Both scored a century each, losing their wickets in the last two overs of the game.
