The first T20I between West Indies and New Zealand on Wednesday saw some exceptional fielding by the West Indies players at the Sabina Park in Jamaica.

Shimron Hetmyer set the tone with a one-handed screamer to dismiss New Zealand Martin Guptill and what followed was another brilliant catch from his teammate Hayden Walsh Junior.

The latter took a sensational catch on square leg to cut short Kane Williamson's stint at the crease. Odean Smith bowled a short ball to Williamson and the latter, who was batting on 47 off 32 balls, pulled it towards square leg searching a boundary but Hayden Walsh's stunner deprived him of a half-century.

The ball was dying on the surface near the square leg boundary but Hayden Walsh covered good ground running from the backward square leg and put a brilliant dive to complete the catch. Watch Hayden Walsh Junior's catch to dismiss Kane Williamson here: #HaydenWalsh take a bow!
