Cricket fans witnessed a moment of sheer brilliance as Sean Abbott, Australian all-rounder, took a jaw-dropping one-handed catch on the boundary line during the 3rd ODI between South Africa and Australia.

South Africa have given a competitive target of 338 runs to Australia. De Kock, Bavuma, and Hendricks played crucial roles in getting South Africa to this challenging total.

The moment of the match, however, belonged to Sean Abbott. Marco Jansen tried to accelerate the team's chances by launching a powerful shot towards the boundary. Little did he know that Sean Abbott had other plans. Australian all-rounder was positioned close to the boundary line, he timed his jump to perfection, stretched out his left hand, and plucked the ball out of thin air, all while maintaining his balance on the boundary rope. It was a catch that left everyone in awe, including the South African fans.

Australia's opening pair, David Warner and Travis Head, got off to a flying start, putting up 104 runs on the scoreboard in just 10 overs. Warner is in sublime touch, and is batting on 65 runs off 38 balls at a staggering strike rate of 171.05, while Head contributed 38 runs off 24 balls.

Australia still need 212 runs in 37 overs to win this match. With a start like this and the team carrying confidence from earlier matches, the visitors would want to win this game.
