On Saturday, during the ECS Bulgaria T10 match between VTU-MU Pleven and Afyonkarahisar SHS at National Sports Academy Vasil Levski, an unconventional catch by Coursey Dalyan of Afyonkarahisar SHS left his teammates and audience stunned. This was a highly comprehensive performance from Afyonkarahisar SHS where Dalyan’s quick reflexes and athleticism were evident as they secured a conclusive win.
Afyonkarahisar SHS won the toss and elected to bat first scoring 104/5 in their 20 overs.VTU-MU Pleven suffered in their response posting a score of 40/8 partly due to Dalyan’s superlative fielding.
The stunning catch occurred when VTU-MU Pleven was batting on the fourth over. Anandhu Krishna, who had scored one run up to that moment, decided to drive Shakeel Faruki’s ball towards the leg side but mistimed it. The ball seemed like it would fall short of mid-on.
Dalyan then stuck out his foot so that it touched the ball before bouncing up high into the air above him. He managed with a great deal of simplicity to finish off this catch as everyone present watched in disbelief.
This catch resulted in VTU-MU Pleven being at 14/4 after 3.3 overs thereby significantly contributing to their eventual collapse.
Afyonkarahisar SHS won through outstanding performances with both bat and ball. One memorable occasion stands out: Dalyan’s exceptionable catch in ECS Bulgaria T10 tournament
