A good cricket match deserves a good finishing. The players from two teams give everything on the field only to be on the winning side. Even though both teams fight for a victory, only one team becomes the eventual winner. At times, fortune favours the brave and that’s how the game ends.
The cricket fraternity has witnessed some epic moments during the passage of the play. Those are the moments that fans would always remember, relish for a long time. One such sensational moment was recorded in the game between Glamorgan and Surrey.

When 13 runs were required off the last over, Timm van der Gugten displayed his bowling masterclass as he kept Kyle Jamieson and Gareth Batty silent.
