Mustafizur managed to claim Warner’s wicket thanks to Pathirana’s one-handed stunner. The southpaw attempted a reverse sweep but didn’t get the placement right. Pathirana, who was stationed at short third man, leaped across to his right and plucked the ball out of thin air.
Here’s the video:
Warner’s dismissal triggered a sort of collapse as DC slipped from 93/1 to 134/4. Shaw was dismissed for 27-ball 43 by Ravindra Jadeja while the likes of Mitchell Marsh (18 off 12) and Tristan Stubbs (0) got out cheaply to Pathirana.
