Netherlands cricketer Roelof van der Merwe redeemed himself with a stunning catch of Steve Smith after his effort to get David Warner out went in vain. It all happened during the Australia vs Netherlands game in Delhi when Warner was taking charge against the Dutch team and somehow he gave a catch to van der Merwe. It was a difficult one to complete - the Dutch fielder caught it but the ball was touching the ground when he was completing the catch. A couple of balls later, Smith gave him a chance and he made sure it was completed. (Babar Azam To Be Sacked As Captain After World Cup, THESE 3 Players Underlined As Captaincy Options: Report)
