MLC 2025: Spectators take stunning one-handed flying catches on back-to-back nights - watch video

On consecutive nights of Major League Cricket (MLC) in Dallas, Texas, fans plucked two clutch catches to leave everyone stunned with their athleticism and skills. The first came on Saturday during the match between Washington Freedom and MI New York while the second came a night later during the clash between Washington Freedom and Texas Super Kings.

On Saturday night, as Glenn Maxwell went up and over the in-field to smash a maximum, a fan leaped high to take an amazing one-handed catch.

The incident came in the 14th over with Maxwell's six coming off Michael Bracewell with the shot headed towards deep mid-wicket region. As it cleared the ground with ease, the ball made its way into the crowd where one spectator took the catch.


A night later, it was the turn of Mitchell Owen going bang, bang with a thunderous stroke towards long off to Marcus Stoinis' bowling. In the ninth over, Owen hit a 82-metre (269 feet) six to bring up his half century from 35 balls.

To make the whole incident even more sublime, the six was caught by a spectator in Texas Super Kings' yellow with one hand.



"My friend asked me what will we do if the ball came to our side. So I was telling him that I will take it with one hand so I took it!" said the fan to the official MLC account.

"I've been playing the sport for 20-25 years, even though I'm just 34. It helps that I used to be in the outfield and take such catches. We decided in the afternoon to come for the match which is why we're here," he added.



Eventually, the TSK fan probably had little to celebrate as Washington Freedom edged the Texas Super Kings by 7 wickets with two balls to spare.
