Glenn Phillips has pulled off an early contender for catch of the T20 World Cup, flying through the outfield at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
It came as part of New Zealand's enormous victory over Australia to open the Super 12 stage of the World Cup, the Black Caps ultimately taking the victory by a staggering 89 runs.
Defending 200, Australia were on the back foot virtually from the start of the run chase. David Warner was the first to depart, before a regular run of wickets followed.
With Australia desperately trying to rebuild through Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis, it would be Stoinis who would fall to the magnificent catch.
Superhuman Phillips!

Santner took the pace off the ball from around the wicket, with Stoinis looking to play on the up through the offside.
Not quite at the pitch of the ball, Stoinis couldn't get power through the shot, hitting it into the air where Glenn Phillips would capitalise, racing around the outfield to snare a catch off a superman-like dive.
