Kiwi student takes stunning catch, pockets $50,000 cash prize
Almost 500 runs scored in a match where Australia defeated New Zealand by 5 wickets to continue their winning run in the Twenty20 tri-series clash in Auckland. The match was an absolute batting belter. As a bowler, you should just wipe off these matches from your memory. Australia conceded just 19 runs in three overs (17th-19th) towards the end, which proved to be the difference between the two teams.
But the biggest winner for the day was a Kiwi student, who bagged $50,000 after taking a stunning one-handed crowd catch.
See how his teammates went nuts:

Wearing the required orange vest to become eligible to win the prize, the boy leaned over the fence and held onto a one-handed blinder.
The winner was attending the game with a group of friends who went bananas as their mate stuck out his palm to bag the cash prize.
