[Watch] Mitchell Santner takes a stunner to dismiss Michael Pepper in The Hundred

Mitchell Santner took an excellent catch for the wicket of Michael Pepper in the match between the London Spirit and the Northern Superchargers, played at Headingley, Leeds.

The Northern Superchargers won the toss and decided to field first. This was an all-important game for the Superchargers, as a win will propel them to 11 points and help them have a shot at a spot in the Eliminator.

Opening the bowling, Reece Topley bowled terrific first 5 deliveries to Pepper and Keaton Jennings. He returned to the bowl from the other end and struck off the 11th delivery of the inning, with Santner taking an absolute blinder, dismissing Pepper for 3 runs off 9 balls.

The official account of The Hundred took to their account on X and posted the video of the dismissal with the caption:

Only Keaton Jennings (30 off 12 balls), Ravi Bopara (31 off 29) and Liam Dawson (27 off 19) crossed double digits in the runs column.
