New Zealand cricketer Martin Guptill stunned the spectators and commentators with his outstanding catch near the boundary ropes. He pulled off a one-handed catch after juggling the ball once during a Super Smash match for Auckland Aces against Central Districts.

Central Districts were chasing 200 runs after Auckland scored 199/6 in 20 overs. It was the fourth over of their innings when opener George Worker hit Louis Delport over his head towards long-on. 

Guptill did well to quickly move towards the ball and grab the ball. At one time, it looked like he will only manage to save a six, but he went for the catch and did well to hold on to the ball despite a juggle.

Auckland secured their first win of the tournament and they are currently placed last in the points table. Central Districts have 5 wins in 8 matches and they are at second position with 20 points.
