During the first one-day international versus West Indies, Shaheen Shah Afridi grabbed a sensational catch off his own bowling to give the hosts the advantage.
Shaheen Shah Afridi grabbed a stunning catch off his own bowling to give Pakistan the lead in the first one-day international against the West Indies at Multan, Pakistan. After West Indies’ Kyle Mayers smacked a half-volley back at him, Afridi reacted angrily.
Shaheen was able to keep hold of the ball when it became lodged near his left elbow. Shaheen and the Pakistan fielders were certain that the ball had been captured immediately after striking the bat, despite some debate about whether it was a bump ball.
In the third over of the West Indies innings, Mayers was removed for 3 runs off 8 balls. After then, the Caribbean team’s innings were restored by Shai Hope and Shamarh Brooks’ 156-run second-wicket stand.
Mohammad Nawaz eventually sacked Brooks for 70.
An ODI series is taking place between the two teams.
Babar Azam, Pakistan’s captain, will be hoping to continue his excellent batting form in this series.
