The 11th match of the ongoing SA20 League in South Africa saw Joburg Super Kings lock horns against Pretoria Capitals on Tuesday. The Super Kings won the match by 6 runs to hand the Capitals their first defeat of the season. Meanwhile, the player who garnered all the attention was England's Will Jacks, who took a stunning one-handed running catch near the boundary rope. The catch left everyone in awe, including the Super Kings' head coach Stephen Fleming. 

The incident occurred in the last over of the first innings when Joburg Super Kings were attempting to set a huge target.
