Sports is known for its ability to bring people together and put a smile on the faces of those watching. A bad day can become a good one if your favourite sportsperson or team pulls off something special. During the second T20 International (T20I) between England and South Africa in Cardiff on Thursday, Jonny Bairstow gave a differently abled fan something to cheer as he took a good catch in the deep. In a video shared by The Barmy Army, the fan can be seen cheering exuberantly after Bairstow completes the catch.
"Cricket is beautiful, look at the lad celebrating," the Barmy Army captioned the video.
The catch, taken at fine leg, saw Reeza Hendricks fall for a 32-ball 53.
For England fans, however, the match did not end on a happy note as they fell short in their chase of 208.
Hendricks' fifty and Rilee Rossouw's unbeaten 96 powered South Africa to a score of 207/3.
England, in their chase, were bowled out for 149, with Tabraiz Shamsi and Andile Phehlukwayo taking three wickets each.
Jonny Bairstow, with his 21-ball 30 top-scored for England, but the hosts were left disappointed wih their batting performance.
With the 58-run win, South Africa levelled the three-match series 1-1.
England had scored a mammoth 234/6 in the first T20I, and South Africa managed 193/8 in reply.
The third T20I will be played on Sunday in Southampton.
The ODI series between the two teams that preceded the T20Is ended in a 1-1 stalemate, with the third match washed out by rain.
