[Watch] Shadab Khan's Stunning Catch Helps Shaheen Dismiss Seifert Cheaply

In the second T20I of the five-match series, Pakistan were all over New Zealand. Batting first, New Zealand faced the wrath of Shaheen Afridi in his second over, with the speedster taking Tim Seifert's wicket. Shadab Khan pulled off an unbelievable catch to dismiss the Kiwi batter. 

Shadab Khan, who led Islamabad United to victory in this year's PSL, is known for his exceptional fielding skills. Pakistan's recent training program at Kakul seems to have further enhanced Shadab's performance, as he now appears even sharper in the field.


Watch: Shadab Khan's spectacular catch

Shadab pulled off an amazing catch after Shaheen Afridi bowled a tricky delivery to dismiss Tim Seifert. Afridi's ball had a change in speed, coming in at 121.5 km/h. 

Seifert, trying to flick it to the leg side, ended up top-edging it towards backward point. That's when Shadab Khan leapt into action, flying to catch the ball in an impressive display of skill.

New Zealand are missing most of their top players for the key series against Pakistan before the T20 World Cup. 

Many of them, like Kane Williamson, Trent Boult, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, and Lockie Ferguson, are busy playing in the IPL. 

Some injuries have further weakened the New Zealand team touring Pakistan. Pakistani fans were disappointed to see Kiwi players prioritize IPL franchises over the national team.

Chasing 91, Pakistan were 12 for one, with Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan unbeaten in the middle.
