David Wiese and Khary Pierre completed a brilliant relay catch in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2024 match between St Lucia Kings and Guyana Amazon Warriors. The match took place at Providence Stadium on Saturday, September 28.
Wiese showed brilliant presence of mind to pull the ball back before falling towards the boundary while Pierre kept his eyes on the ball till the last moment. Keemo Paul departed for just one run off the two deliveries he faced.
The dismissal came in the 18th over Guyana’s innings. Noor Ahmad bowled a full-length ball and Paul tried to create room before hitting the ball towards the deep mid-wicket. Wiese completed the catch before falling inside the ropes but got rid of the ball just in time.
Sharing the video on Instagram, CPL’s official handle wrote:
“What a save!!!!! That’s what you call teamwork for a wicket.”
