He was standing near the edge of the field when the ball was hit high towards him.
He jumped to catch it, almost went out of bounds, but stayed calm.
He quickly stepped back and then dived to catch the ball with just one hand.
The player who hit the ball, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, had been playing really well and scored 52 runs.
But Jacks' amazing catch sent him back to the dugout.
