Jordan Silk pulls off a stunner in BBL 2020

The super fielding effort took place in the 15th over of the match. Sydney Sixers bowler Steve O’Keefe was already struggling in the over, as he conceded 17 off the first five balls of the over. However, Jordan Silk made sure his fielding effort ended up saving four runs, as the 28-year-old executed a stunning boundary rope effort.

Hobart Hurricanes batsman Colin Ingram seemed to have connected brilliantly, as he pulled a Steve O’Keefe delivery towards the fence. However, while it earlier looked that the ball will sail over the boundary for six, Jordan Silk seemed to have other ideas. The Australian caught the ball as he timed his jump to perfection, before releasing it back into play as he toppled over.
