Big Bash League 2020–21: Alex Carey Takes Stunning One-Handed Catch to Dismiss Liam Livingstone During Adelaide Strikers vs Perth Scorchers Clash (Watch Video)

Adelaide Strikers captain Alex Carey had a great outing against Perth Scorchers in the on-going KFC Big Bash League (BBL) 2020-21. The southpaw first shone with the bat, scoring 82 runs off 59 balls as Strikers posted Strikers despite a top-order collapse. However, it was Carey's sensational one-handed catch which left the cricket fans jaw-dropped. He dived full length towards his wrong side (right side) and executed an unbelievable catch to dismiss dangerous opener Liam Livingstone for just eight runs. Fans were enthralled by Carey's effort and social media got flooded with praises for the southpaw. Alex Carey Joins Adelaide Strikers for Launceston Trip.

The incident took place in the fourth ball of the eighth over. Pacer Wes Agar – who dismissed Jason Roy a few balls ago – bowled a sharp short delivery that surprised Livingstone and took his bat's edge. However, the ball seemed quite away from Carey and looked certain to touch the third man boundary rope. Leaving everyone surprised, Carey made a full-length dive towards his right and took a magnificent catch.
