Watch: Donovan Ferreira takes all-time great catch at the boundary in SA20 2025

South Africa's Donovan Ferreira took a catch for the ages during the SA20 match between Joburg Super Kings and Sunrisers Eastern Cape played at The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg. The catch was taken during the final stages of Sunrisers Eastern Cape's innings.

During the 19th over of the innings, fast bowler Hardus Viljoen dug in a short ball outside the off stump as the batter Beyers Swanepoel tried to give himself room and smash the ball towards the deep point.

It seemed like the ball would clear the boundary easily but Donovan Ferreira had other ideas. The 26-year-old ran around and stuck his right hand out to take an absolute screamer just on the edge of the boundary line.
