Durban Super Giants skipper Keshav Maharaj won the toss and chose to bat first at St George's Park in Gqeberha on Sunday, January 19. However, their batting lineup struggled early as Sunrisers Eastern Cape pacers Marco Jansen and Richard Gleeson ran through the top order, reducing them to 18/4.
The ball appeared to be heading for the boundary, but Dawson dived to his right-hand side and made an extraordinary grab. The catch left Smuts stunned and even amazed Quinton de Kock, who could hardly believe his eyes from the dressing room. It was one of the finest catches of the tournament.
The SA20's official account on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) shared a clip of Dawson's exceptional fielding efforts with the caption, "Liam Dawson's catch was so good, even Quinton de Kock couldn't believe it ?."

"Said it at the toss as well that it (atmosphere from the home fans) was really pumping. Initially you don't pay too much attention to it. We wanted a good powerplay and fortunately the good start allowed to get the bonus point, didn't have to search for it too much. To be honest didn't expect the wicket to play this way. Had more bounce than we expected. We bowled hard length really well and got the rewards," Aiden Markram said.
