Pakistan fielder, Agha Salman channeled his inner Jonty Rhodes and took a stunning catch to dismiss a well-set Matthew Breetzke in the ongoing ODI match of the tri-nation tournament. The Proteas batter was all set to reach his second successive ODI ton, and it took a stunner to stop the juggernaut.

The opening batter smashed a brilliant century in the clash Vs New Zealand and announced his arrival in style. He continued the momentum in the ongoing match and scored a brilliant 83 before Agha Salman decided to turn Rhodes and pluck the catch of the year. Rhodes, is known as the greatest fielder of all time and the Pakistan star made him proud with his effort.

Khushdil Shah delivered a tossed up ball as Breetzke stepped down the wicket and tried to play over the covers. However, he miscued his shot and Agha Salman pounced on it. He leaped in the air and flew towards his right to grab a stunner. After the wicket, Khushdil couldn't control his emotions as he let out an angry roar.

South Africa moving towards a big total

The South African batters were at their best against a helpless Pakistan attack which had no Haris Rauf in it. The Proteas openers added 51 runs for the opening wicket, and after the loss of first wicket, Temba Bavuma and Breetzke steadied the ship and forged a strong partnership.

The duo added 119 runs for the second wicket, before Bavuma departed for a well-compiled 82. Breetzke, on the other hand looked set for a hundred, before Khushdil struck. At the moment, Heinrich Klaasen is batting and has reached a quick-fire fifty as the Proteas look for a big total.
