Twitter goes crazy after Trent Boult takes unbelievable catch and holds pose, ICC reacts too

Twitter went crazy after Trent Boult took a stunning one-handed catch to dismiss Bangladesh's Liton Das and held the pose. Here is how Twitter reacted to Trent Boult’s stunning catch which ICC described as 'ridiculously' good in New Zealand vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI.

Trent Boult and one-handed stunners are turning out be a regular affair in cricket. The New Zealand seamer took an outstanding catch to dismiss Liton Das in the 3rd ODI against Bangladesh and decided to hold the pose, much to the delight of the netizens who left no stones unturned to shower their love for the stunning fielding effort on Twitter.

Trent Boult took an outstanding diving catch in the New Zealand vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI

It happened in the 7th over the Bangladesh when Matt Henry bowled a length ball aimed at the body of Liton Das. The Bangladesh batsman closed the face of his bat too early and got a leading edge.

Boult was standing at third man. Anticipating the catch, Boult came charging in and dived at full length with an outstretched left hand. The ball somehow stuck in between his palm and fingers.

The left-arm seamer then held the pose and signaled ‘out’ even as the rest of the New Zealand cricketers including bowler Henry, who could not believe his luck, went charging towards him.

This is not the first time Boult has taken a one-handed catch on the boundary. He has done it in the fast in different formats for New Zealand and also for various franchises in IPL.

Earlier, Devon Conway and allrounder Daryl Mitchell posted maiden centuries in a record 159-run fifth-wicket partnership which lifted New Zealand to 318-6.

On a sun-drenched Basin Reserve, the home ground of his Wellington province, Conway struck 126, reaching triple figures from 95 balls. Mitchell reached his century from 92 balls and from the last ball of the innings.

“There was obviously a bit of running there and I was blowing a bit,” Mitchell said. “It was nice to get the job done and Dev (Conway) batted awesomely to get a score for us.

“For me it was just about being positive, trying to pick your moments to put pressure on them and try to get a bit of luck along the way.”

South Africa-born Conway’s century, his first for New Zealand in any format, followed his unbeaten 99 in a Twenty20 international against Australia in February
