WATCH: UAE's Rameez Shahzad takes one-handed stunner similar to Ben Stokes' catch

Rameez took a jump and then caught the ball with one hand while maintaining his balance.

England cricketer Ben Stokes' remarkable catch to dismiss South Africa's Andile Phehlukwayo in the World Cup 2019 is counted among the best catches. Stokes was running towards the ball and later jumped in the air, stretching his body, at the right time to take a stunner.

When Stokes pulled off that beautiful catch, Naseer Hussain in the commentary said, "No, You can not do that!" 

The words from Naseer echoed again in our ears when United Arab Emirates' (UAE) fielder Rameez Shahzad took a similar catch. Rameez almost emulated Stokes' one-handed stunner to send Scotland's George Munsey back to the pavilion in the third playoff of Twenty20 (T20) World Cup qualifier on Wednesday.

Munsey was batting on 65 when Ahmed Raza tossed one up to him, and he tried to clear the long-off fielder. But unfortunately, Rameez was too quick to reach there and put on an outstanding fielding display.

Even though UAE got rid of dangerous Munsey, they couldn't win the game and fell 90 runs short in the chase.
