Haris Rauf Catch: Everything went well in the third match against Pakistan, which had lost two consecutive T20 matches. The bowlers took wickets, but Hasan Nawaz single-handedly overcame the Kiwi bowlers. Nawaz played a brilliant innings of 105 runs in 45 balls. Along with bat and ball, Pakistan’s fielding was also top class. Harris Rauf, who wreaked havoc with the ball, appeared in a superman avatar on the field. Rauf took a brilliant one-handed catch while diving in the air, which is being praised everywhere.

Harris Rauf became superman

Pakistan won the toss and decided to bowl first. Shaheen Afridi proved the captain’s decision right in the very first over. On the fifth ball of the innings, Afridi sent Phil Allen to the pavilion without even opening his account. The Kiwi batsman’s innings was ended by Harris Rauf taking a brilliant catch. Finn Allen flicked the ball that came on Afridi’s feet. At first glance, it seemed that the ball would go rapidly towards the boundary. However, Harris Rauf, fielding at short fine leg, dived in the air like Superman and took a brilliant catch with one hand. Even Finn Allen could not believe Rauf’s fielding. At the same time, bowler Afridi also looked very happy with Rauf’s fielding.
