The first ODI between Australia and Sri Lanka at R Premadasa Stadium on Wednesday saw a moment of absolute magic from Australia’s young gun Jake Fraser-McGurk.

Jake Fraser-McGurk Pulls Off An Impossible Catch You Have To See To Believe

The catch came on the second ball of the 7th over with Sri Lanka already wobbling at 31/3. Spencer Johnson bowled a full delivery at Kamindu Mendis’ pads. Mendis leaned across for a strong whip, connecting well, but unfortunately for him, it went airborne toward mid-wicket.

Enter Jake Fraser-McGurk who moved quickly to his right and launched himself into a full-length dive, grabbing a sensational two-handed catch mid-air. 

Mendis could only walk back for 5, shaking his head in disbelief. Meanwhile, Fraser-McGurk celebrated with his teammates, knowing that he had just pulled off something special.

Opting to bat first, Sri Lanka got off to a nightmare start. At 39/4 after 10 overs, their top order was blown away by Australia’s pace attack. Spencer Johnson and Aaron Hardie were breathing fire with the new ball, picking up two wickets each and putting the Sri Lankan batters under constant pressure.

Janith Liyanage and Charith Asalanka are left to pick up the pieces, trying to stabilize the innings and stitch together a partnership. But with Australia’s bowlers sensing blood in the water, it isn’t going to be easy for the duo.

Spencer Johnson led the charge with his fiery spells, making life difficult for the Sri Lankan batters. Hardie complemented him perfectly, hitting the right areas and extracting movement off the surface. Both bowlers kept things tight and didn’t give any breathing space to the opposition.

The Australian camp is fired up and with momentum firmly in their corner, they look determined to wrap things up quickly and expose Sri Lanka’s lower order.

This two-match series may be short, but it’s crucial for both teams. The winner of this game will take a 1-0 lead and hold the upper hand going into the second ODI and will also carry momentum with them in Champions Trophy 2025.
