Tristan Stubbs
The day belonged to Aiden Markram when South Africa locked-horns with England in the T20 decider on Sunday, July 31 at Rose Bowl Cricket Ground in Southampton, in UK. Markram was the bowler to dismiss Moeen Ali but all the credit goes Tristan Stubbs who took a stunning one-handed catch.
In the last ball of the 10th over, Aiden Markram‘s ball tossed up around off. Ali tried to flick it to the leg-side but the ball lobbed to the left of covers off the edge and Tristan Stubbs was away from the ball. It looked like the ball will land safely but Stubbs sprinted to his left and dived with his left-hand stretched out and took a brilliant blinder. Ali departed after scoring three runs off five balls.
