The Moment
Gill swung his bat before the Santner delivery while aiming a well-timed drive at the cover area. A powerful hit from the bat sent the ball flying toward potential boundary space before Phillips made a diving intervention that showcased his athletic prowess.
Phillips stretched his body to the right when he perceived the ball would pass him during his aerial motion. He made a rapid choice that contradicted physical sense and force of gravity when he pushed his reach even further using one hand to catch the ball out of its soaring trajectory.
