West Indies all-rounder Roston Chase produced a magnificent effort on the field during the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024 match against Papua New Guinea (PNG). The second game of the tournament is already underway at Providence Stadium in Guiana.
The West Indies opted to play first and have been all over Papua New Guinea with the ball. Their pacers have bowled superbly well with the new ball and have put pressure on the opponents with their impeccable lines and lengths.
Papua New Guinea captain Assad Vala looked like the only batsman settled on top as he tried to progress the innings and play some quality shots with the bat. He looked like he would continue with his bat and lead his team to the competitive total. METER
But his stay in the area was cut short by Roston Chase’s brilliance on the field. The all-rounder put up an acrobatic effort and made a magnificent catch that sent everyone into a frenzy and lifted the crowd at the Providence Stadium..
During the sixth ball of the sixth over, Alzarri Joesph bowled a short angled delivery over the left-hander. The batsman saw the width and cut hard and the ball flew towards backward point and looked like it would run away for a four.
But Roston Chase had other plans. He moved to the left and caught the ball with both hands. The ball was hit hard and was traveling, but Chase made it look easy. He didn’t even celebrate when he got up and rolled the ball to the referee.
