VIDEO | Glenn Phillips turns 'Superman' to take stunning one-handed catch to dismiss Devon Thomas
A game that was all star-struck with Gayle's fourth Caribbean Premier League hundred didn't go in favour of the Jamaica Tallawahs but there was more than one moment for them to celebrate. Wicketkeeper Glenn Phillips caught all eyes as he bagged the perfect catch, taking off behind the stumps.
The match between St Kitts and Nevis Patriots and Jamaica Tallawahs turned out into another high scoring CPL game which included a blistering ton by the seasoned veteran Chris Gayle in the first innings. Jamaica Tallawahs despite losing the game were able to produce stunning moments which included some wicketkeeping brilliance from the New Zealand gloveman Glenn Phillips.
Chasing a target of 242 aided by Gayle 62-ball 116, the Patriots' opener Devon Thomas (71 off 40) had taken the team to a total of 176/2. The first delivery of the 14th over, bowled by Oshane Thomas, saw a spectacular catch from Phillips. The delivery was full in length and angling in towards the batsman, as he made some room to go over covers but instead got an outside edge, and Phillips behind the stumps took no time to move towards the leg side and leap to his right to grab a one-handed beauty. I guess he can now be called Glenn "Superman" Phillips.
Unfortunately for the Tallawahs, St Kitts and Nevis Patriots- the hosts of the game- chased it down easily, winning by four wickets with seven balls to spare after openers Devon Thomas (71 off 40) and Evin Lewis (53 off 18) set up the victory.
