Lungi Ngidi pulled off a blinder to dismiss Jamie Overton in the 2025 Champions Trophy Group B clash between South Africa and England in Karachi on Saturday, March 1. As a result, Overton perished for just 11 runs off 20 balls, leaving England reeling at 129/7.
The dismissal came in the 26th over of England’s innings. Kagiso Rabada bowled a length ball outside off and Overton whipped it towards the leg side but failed to connect it properly. The ball went up in the air towards mid-on and Ngidi ran backward to complete a stunning catch, leaving everyone in awe. The pacer stretched his left hand to grab the ball in the air before falling to the ground, ensuring the ball didn’t come out of his hands.

South Africa aim for a place in semifinals, England eliminated from 2025 Champions Trophy
South Africa are eyeing a place in the 2025 Champions Trophy while England have already been eliminated from the race to the last four. The Proteas have equal points with Afghanistan but a better net run rate. They beat Afghanistan by 107 runs and their second game against Australia was washed out due to rain. A victory against England would ensure they get to five points.
On the other hand, England have crashed out of the last four after losing consecutive games against Australia and Afghanistan. Jos Buttler has announced his retirement as captain and is leading the English team for the one last time.
It’s worth mentioning that Australia have already qualified for the semifinals from Group B. Meanwhile, India and New Zealand have booked their spots in the last four from the other group.
