The Pakistan star, Babar Azam, proved his mettle not just with the bat but also in the field during the New Zealand vs Pakistan first T20 match. The 15 over saw debutant Abbas Afridi claiming his third wicket, dismissing Glenn Phillips for a quick 19 off 11 balls.

Babar Azam, often lauded for his elegant batting, had faced criticism for his fielding lapses in the past. However, in this crucial encounter, he silenced the critics with a stunning catch that could be described as nothing short of a blinder. As the ball left Phillips' bat with power and pace, Azam, stationed at long on, sprinted in and dived low to take a fantastic sliding catch.

This catch not only sent Phillips back to the pavilion but also marked a turning point for Babar Azam in the field. It was a much-needed contribution as his team aimed to defend their total. The timing of this catch couldn't have been better, with Phillips looking to unleash a powerful shot but only managing to find the fielder.

For Babar Azam, known for his calm demeanor on the field, this catch was a statement—a declaration that he is not just a formidable batsman but a valuable asset in the field as well.
