London Spirit’s player Andre Russell took an excellent catch running back towards the boundary against Welsh Fire in the 10th game of the Men’s Hundred Competition on Thursday, August 1. The match is being played at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London.

The dismissal came on the 15th ball of the Welsh Fire’s innings. London Spirit pacer Olly Stone bowled a short ball, which Tom Kohler-Cadmore tried to hit out of the park but miscued as it went high in the air. Andre Russell charged from the inside circle towards deep mid-on to pull off a stunning catch.

Here’s the video of the catch:
