HARARE: Pakistan beat Australia on Sunday and clinched the T20I tri-series quite comprehensively in the end. Along with the trophy, there was another top moment of the match, a catch by Shadab Khan.
The all-rounder took a ‘ridiculous’ low running catch to his right, while fielding at mid-on.
According to ESPN Cricinfo’s live commentary, “Pakistan’s fielding veers from ordinary to extraordinary. This rocket drive from Carey seemed destined to fly to the boundary. Instead, Shadab throws himself to his right from mid-off and plucks it out with one hand, inches from the ground. Simply sensational. This was very full and outside off, belted away in the air. Then came Shadab’s athletic intervention. What a youtubeable catch. Awesome stuff, Shadab.”
