During the 15th match of the ongoing second season of the Mzansi Super League between Cape Town Blitz and Paarl Rocks in Cape Town, Paarl Rocks spinner Tabraiz Shamsi put on display an amazing celebration after taking a wicket.
Known for his “shoe celebration”, Shami transformed into a wizard in this match after taking a wicket. A common trick which we’ve seen magicians perform during magic shows was successfully performed by Shamsi as he introgued one and all watching him.
After dismissing a batsman, the 29-year old took out a handkerchief and gave it a shake before a stick came out of it. Shamsi was later seen picking the stick from the ground.

Chasing a 164-run target, the hosts were restricted to 161/9 in 20 overs as Paarl pacer Isuru Udana defended 11 runs in the last over. Cape Town all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz scoring 41 (23) with the help of two fours and three sixes wasn’t enough for them. For Paarl, Bjorn Fortuin, Shamsi and and Udana dismissed two batsmen each.
After Blitz captain Quinton de Kock won the toss and put the visitors in to bat, Rocks scored 163/8 in 20 overs. Opening batsman Henry Davids top-scored for his team with 46 (33) with the help of five fours and a six.
