Babar Azam left everyone stunned with a remarkable catch in Pakistan’s Super 12 clash against Zimbabwe in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup at Perth on Thursday (October 27).
The Pakistan skipper was fielding at slip when he plucked a one-handed stunner to dismiss wicketkeeper-batter Regis Chakabva.
The incident happened in the 14th over of Zimbabwe’s innings bowled by Shadab Khan. Chakabva edged the ball and Babar had a fraction of a section to react. However, he did a great job, stretching his right hand out and the ball somehow got glued to his palm.
It was such a blinder of a catch that even Babar Azam couldn’t believe after completing the grab. Shadab too reacted in amazement.
Here’s the video:
Coming to the match, Zimbabwe posted 130/8 in their allotted 20 overs. Sean Williams was the top scorer with 31 off 28 balls.
For Pakistan, Mohammad Wasim Jr (4-24) returned with four wickets while Shadab Khan (3-23) picked three scalps.
