In a thrilling ongoing cricket match between Australia and Afghanistan, the crowd witnessed a stunning wicket that left Afghan opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz in utter disbelief. The dramatic moment unfolded during the 7.6th over when Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood delivered a short-pitched ball on the fourth stump.

Gurbaz, eager to make a mark for his team, decided to play a pull shot. However, the young batsman couldn't muster the required power behind the shot. As a result, the ball sailed high towards the deep square leg region. In an ironic twist of fate, Gurbaz's well-intentioned but half-hearted effort led to his downfall.
The Afghan opener watched helplessly as the ball landed straight into the safe hands of Mitchell Starc, positioned on the boundary in the leg side. As the catch was taken, Gurbaz dropped his bat in disbelief and stood rooted to the spot, coming to terms with his abrupt dismissal.
The wicket of Gurbaz was a crucial breakthrough for the Australian team, and it added to the excitement of the ongoing contest.
