T20 World Cup 2021: Watch - Devon Conway Grabs A Stunner, Takes A Diving Catch At Long-Off To Dismiss Mohammad Hafeez

New Zealand‘s Devon Conway took one of the best catches of the ongoing T20 World Cup against Pakistan in Sharjah on Tuesday to dismiss Mohammad Hafeez.

Hafeez skipped down the track to smash Mitchell Santner over long-off.  He made a decent connection and placed it well away from Devon Conway who sprinted to his left. The ball was about to land just in front of the boundary line before the fielder plucked it out of nowhere.

Devon Conway attempted a full stretched dive and went for the catch with both his hands and succeeded in grasping the ball. He was, in fact, horizontal to the ground when he grabbed the ball!

“Unbelievable…Oh, unbelievable” is what an astonished Sunil Gavaskar could manage to say about the catch while on commentary.

Pakistan stutter in chase of 135

Chasing 135, Pakistan had a quiet start with both Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan batting cautiously, before Tim Southee knocked over the Pakistan captain’s middle-stump in the sixth over. New Zealand were on top at the 6-over mark with Pakistan 30/1.

Ish Sodhi then struck with the wicket of Fakhar Zaman. Hafeez showed his intent straightaway thumping Neesham for a maximum, but had to walk back courtesy of a magnificent catch by Devon Conway at long-off boundary.

Sodhi then got the better of Rizwan putting Pakistan on the backfoot in the chase. At the time of writing, Pakistan are 70/4 at the 12-over mark.

Earlier, Haris Rauf had bagged a four-wicket haul as New Zealand managed 134.
