SA vs CAN | Twitter impressed as Heyliger pulls ball out of thin air in extraordinary effort to dismiss Markram
Dilon Heyliger showed that associate nations are no pushovers during the T20 World Cup 2026 Group D game against South Africa in Ahmedabad. The Canada pacer came up with a stunning piece of fielding on the boundary ropes, completing a beautiful catch, to dismiss the dangerous-looking Aiden Markram.

The opener smashed boundaries at will as the side raced to 66/0 in the six-over powerplay to put Canada under enormous pressure. Though his opening partner Quinton de Kock left without making much of an impact, Markram continued unabated to complete his half-century in the 10th over as the team total also went past 100.
The Proteas skipper looked in imperious touch and well-set to go the distance before a Dilon Heyliger stunner ended his stay in the middle. With Ansh Patel trying to go away from Markram’s arc with a short of a length wrong one that went outside off stump, the batter jagged back and tried to clear the long on fence.
But the ball turning away meant he could not get a sweet connection off the willow keeping Heyliger interested at long on. The pacer ran towards his left and timed his jump to perfection to hold on to a tough chance.
A calm and composed Heyliger then ensured that he landed back properly and did not touch the rope in his follow through. He was delighted as the players also ran in to appreciate his stunning effort. On the other hand, Markram stood there at the crease stunned and taking time to come to terms with the dismissal before starting his walk back.
Twitter was in awe of Heyliger’s take and his presence of mind which ended a classic knock from the South Africa skipper.
What a catch!
