WATCH | Triple whammy million-rand catches as crowd delights at Centurion
SuperSport Park was treated to not one, two, but three catch-a-million catches during the Pretoria Capitals' innings against the Sunrisers Eastern Cape.
Live scorecard
The first one was taken by a spectator who was sitting at the grass bank above deep mid-wicket, where the fan simply just stuck out a hand.
The ball sat in his hand and with the fan sitting in a shaded area. It took a while for the catch to be verified.

However, one replay showed the ease of the catch, but six balls later, the next catch game.
This time, the second catch was drilled to extra cover, and one fan who was standing on the edge of the grass embankment.
He waited for the ball perfectly and took an excellent catch, the fourth of the catch-a-million tournament.

The fifth one of the competition, the third of the game, was also snared by a fan who kept his beer safe at the same time.
With the competition set to shift to the highveld where the ball travels further, it remains to be seen whether the sponsors will increase the kitty.
With the current five catches, the R1-milllion kitty has now been split to R200 000 each.
