West Indian cricket star Fabian Allen put in a stunning performance on the field during the Abu Dhabi T10 tournament. Playing for the Delhi Bulls side, Allen took a tremendous catch to get rid of Leus Du Plooy who was playing for Team Abu Dhabi. The incident in question happened on the 4th ball of the eighth over.
Fazalhaq Farooqi bowled a full toss on the leg stump that Du Plooy tried to hit for a six. Fabian Allen made a tremendous run and dove full-length to complete the catch. It was a key wicket as Du Plooy was batting well on 32 off just 11 balls with four boundaries and 2 sixes.
