It was a showdown between two heavyweights as MI New York and Washington Freedom collided in a high-voltage encounter at the Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium in Dallas. The bowlers on both sides had a hard time as they received a terrible pounding at the hands of the batters. It was all starting to heat up during the Washington Freedom's run chase when they needed 56 off 38, with the possibility of the game going either way loomed large.
Against the run of play, the game witnessed a stunning moment. During the 14th over of the run chase, WF's Glenn Maxwell launched a massive six against the bowling of Doug Bracewell. The ball went flying over the cow corner region and sailed deep into the stands where the fans had gathered. But the six from Maxwell was not the only moment that stood out. It was a random fan with a green top in the stands who seized the moment.
While backpedaling behind, the fan did not seem to be in total control of his movement. However, he stunned us all when he extended his right arm out to pull off an unthinkable one-handed catch. He made the catch look so ridiculously easy that even the on-air commentators were compelled to react in disbelief.

Despite throwing some punches at the MI New York bowlers, Maxwell's innings did not last long as he was cleaned up by Boult the following over for 16. WF kept losing along the way, but Chapman stayed unbeaten on 45 to steer his side to a narrow victory over MI New York by a margin of two wickets. Mitch Owen was adjudged Player of the Match for his brilliant all-round heroics of 60 (26) and 1/29. He even maintained high standards on the field and claimed two catches to remove De Kock and Pooran.
Following this riveting encounter, MI New York and Washington Freedom are slated to play their next games against San Francisco Unicorns and Texas Super Kings on June 23 and June 22, respectively.
