One thing that has caught the limelight among others in the ongoing T20 World Cup is the fielding of the players. Even though the main event has not started yet, the fielding effort of the players in the Round 1 matches has been nothing short of exceptional. To make sure the standard remains the same, Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka took a sensational catch in his side's ongoing match against Namibia in Round 1 of the T20 World Cup.

Ruben Trumpelmann failed to connect a chest-high short ball and it travelled to wide of short cover Dasun Shanaka. Sensing an opportunity to dismiss the batter, Shanaka gave it his all to reach the ball. He even slid across to complete the amazing one-handed catch before the ball could touch the ground.

Here is the video:
