We always admire the best fielding efforts in franchise cricket leagues across the world. Now in 2025, we often see relay boundary catches, where the players catch in the boundary, throw the ball back into play as they lose balance, and then jump back in to complete the catch. But today at the SA20 League 2025, we saw a running and single-handed boundary catch.
Today’s match was Joburg Super Kings vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape at The Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. Sunrisers batted first and they lost many early wickets, being reduced to 17/4 during the powerplay itself. From there, there was a mini-comeback in the middle overs, but that was followed by another collapse towards the end. The highlight – An amazing catch from Donovan Ferreira.

In the 19th over, Sunrisers were 117/8 and Hardus Viljoen was bowling to Beyers Swanepoel. The left-hander was playing his first ball of the game and cut it high over point, and you’d think it was flying over the boundary rope for a six as well. However, a running Ferreira stuck out a hand, and managed to clasp the ball as well, creating a huge roar from the crowd behind him.

Donovan Ferreira has just taken the catch of the season. Just plucked the ball out of mid-air as if it was nothing. RIDICULOUS.

Joburg Super Kings is led by Faf du Plessis in the SA20 League, and he sets very high standards in the field. Every year, he takes a catch which makes it to the nominees for the catch of the tournament. And that seems to be clearly rubbing off on other members in his team, as the fielding standards have improved for everyone in the JSK squad.

This Ferreira catch was a testament to that high standard set by du Plessis. He himself couldn’t believe that he had plucked that catch out of nowhere, as the ball was travelling at a high pace, with the sun in his eyes as well. Hi teammates came and swarmed around him to celebrate that catch along with him. Easily, the catch of SA20 2025 so far!
