In the match, pacer Munaf Patel dismissed Ricardo Powell in the 17th over of the West Indies Legends innings. Powell stylishly flicked Patel’s delivery towards deep square-leg and much to the crowd’s delight, former pacer Zaheer Khan turned back the clock to snare an excellent one-handed screamer. Zaheer Khan made a timely jump to grab the catch and furthered West Indies Legends troubles by reducing them to 123-5. Notably, the catch resembled Ravindra Jadeja’s effort during the second Test against New Zealand on March 1 at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch.
