Pakistan wicketkeeper Mohammad Haris showed a sample of his excellent reflexes to dismiss New Zealand's Mark Chapman during the fifth T20I between these two teams at Wellington. Haris' quick reflexes reminded everyone of the great MS Dhoni and his superb wicketkeeping skills.

During the ninth over of New Zealand's innings, left-arm wristspinner Sufiyan Muqeem bowled a fuller delivery. Batter Mark Chapman was unable to read the length of the ball and ended up getting yorked.

The ball hit the toe end of the bat and went back after pitching. Chapman was looking for the ball as he was unaware of it, and Mohammad Haris seized the opportunity to collect the ball with his right hand. He immediately removed the bails as Chapman was well outside his crease.
