He extended himself parallel to the ground to grasp the ball with one hand, before skilfully managing a controlled tumble near the boundary line, drawing enthusiastic applause from the crowd.

Bosch (4 for 19) and Kagiso Rabada’s (2 for 14) led MICT's bowling effort, while openers Ryan Rickelton (59* off 36 balls) and Rassie van der Dussen (48* 30 balls) carried their bats through the run-chase for a 10-wicket win, which sealed a maiden playoff spot for MICT.

“(Fielding) is very important especially in this format," said MICT captain, Rashid Khan, after the match. "Today, before the game, we had the discussion to keep the continuity. I feel like the effort you put in fielding is very important. Fielding put us ahead in the game. Ground fielding was amazing.'
"It was important to finish with the bonus point and in top two."
