WATCH: Peter Hatzoglou takes fiery catch at boundary ropes during CPL game between Saint Lucia Kings and Trinbago Knight Riders

In the 24th match of the Caribbean Premier League 2023, the Trinbago Knight Riders beat the Saint Lucia Kings by seven wickets. Riding on a half-century from opener Mark Deyal Trinbago, Trinbago chased 168 runs comfortably in 18.5 overs. However, Saint Lucia’s spinner, Peter Hatzoglou, takes three beautiful catches but fails to win the game for his team.

Due to his outstanding efforts at boundary ropes, fans and cricket pundits praised him on social media. A video of him taking a nail-biting catch at boundary ropes left fans in splits. Hatzoglou took a diving catch at the boundary ropes, and before touching it, he tossed up the ball and caught it again in a comfortable position. His efforts dismissed Trinbago’s highest run scorer, Mark Deyal.

It is worth noting that despite his heroic efforts, SLK failed to hold his nerve and lost the game. For Trinbago, Deyal scored 57 runs off 45 balls with the help of six fours and two sixes. Apart from him, wicketkeeper-batter Lorcan Tucker scored an unbeatable 38 runs off 31 balls to win the game for Trinbago. Meanwhile, Hatzoglou took all three catches from Trinbago batters with his amazing efforts.
