NZ vs Pak: Shadab Khan, who is known to be a good fielding, made a laughable error during the 3rd T20I on Friday at the Eden Park in Auckland. The incident took place during the fifth over of the match. New Zealand's Mark Chapman punched the ball towards mid-off and was looking to pinch a single.
Shadab, who was at that position, felt it was a regulation pick-up and throw and that is where we reckon he lost his focus and missed the ball completely. The ball went from between his legs and for a boundary. It was a massive blooper in the field for which the Pakistan cricketer is now being roasted on social space. Here is the clip.
Meanwhile, here are the comments that followed the blooper in the field.
At the time of filing the copy, the Men in Green were 84 for one in a 205-run chase. Pakistan have certainly got a good start and are on course to gun down the mammoth total. Hasan Nawaz and Salman Agha are in the middle.
Earlier, NZ posted a mammoth 204 allout. Despite losing all their wickets, they got a daunting score on the board, thanks to Mark Chapman, who hit a breathtaking 94 off 44 balls. For Pakistan, Haris Rauf with three wickets was the best bowler on display.
The game as of now is poised for a cracking finish.
