WATCH: Mitchell Santner exhibits amazing athleticism and grabs stunning catch to dismiss Sam Curran

Friday night saw yet another amazing game in the Hundred 2024 edition. It was the NS Chargers taking on the Invincibles at the famous Oval stadium. New Zealand star Mitchell Santner grabbed the headlines with his breathtaking effort to dismiss Sam Curran. 

The incident occurred in the 54th ball of the chase with the Invincibles batting. Matthew Short bowled a floated ball that Sam Curran came down the track to. The English star timed the ball well and it seemed certain to go all the way to the boundary.
