Mohammad Rizwan played a crucial role in dismissing Bangladesh opener Zakir Hasan with a stunning catch.

The incident occurred in the 17th over when Naseem Shah bowled a back-of-a-length delivery. Zakir played an off-side drive with minimal foot movement, resulting in a thick outside edge.

The ball was heading towards the first slip where Babar Azam was stationed. The Pakistan wicketkeeper leaped to his left and caught the ball with his left hand.

He fell to the ground after completing the catch. Rizwan was warmly embraced by Babar and the rest of the team for his extraordinary fielding skills.

Mohammad Rizwan stunned spectators with his spectacular one-handed catch. He earned praise from commentators who exclaimed, "The man of crisis, who has put his hand up not once but multiple times," and "An absolute rip-snorter." Bangladesh lost their first wicket with 31 runs on the board.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share the video clip and captioned it: "Absolute ripper of a catch! 😲 The @iMRizwanPak 𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 gives @iNaseemShah his first wicket of the day.”
