Australian Cricket Team kicked off their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign today (February 22) against arch-rivals England National Cricket Team at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. In a thrilling moment during the second over of England's innings Alex Carey pulled off a stunning outfield catch to send Phil Salt back to the pavilion cheaply.

alex-carey-takes-stunning-catch-to-dismiss-phil-salt-in-ct-2025-against-englandSalt looking to break free attempted to whip an incoming delivery over mid-on. However the ball didn't get the elevation he hoped for leaving Carey with an opportunity. The Australian wicketkeeper who was fielding in the outfield today tracked the ball's trajectory perfectly and made an incredible one-handed leap with his right hand to complete the catch. This spectacular effort marked Carey's first catch as a non-wicketkeeper in his fourth match.
