Watch: Khushdil Shah takes a STUNNER to remove Tim Seifert during NZ vs PAK 4th T20I
Pakistan National Cricket player Khushdil Shah came up with a brilliant effort on the field during the fourth T20I against the New Zealand National Cricket Team. The match between the two teams is taking place at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Sunday (23rd March).
Pakistan National Cricket Team had a decent outing with the ball against New Zealand National Cricket in the fourth T20I. But what was even more impressive was the fielding effort that they put on the field, with the best one coming from Khushdil Shah to remove Tim Seifert.
It was during the 1st ball of 5th over, when Haris Rauf bowled a slower short ball outside off, to which Tim Seifert pulled it powerfully. The ball was travelling towards deep mid-wicket, where Khushdil Shah was stationed, and it looked like the ball would go for a four.
But Khushdil Shah moved to his right and dived in front to take it with both hands inches above the ground. It was a brilliant effort, and it pumped up the entire team as the New Zealand National Cricket Team batter was back in the hut after scoring 44 runs off 22 balls.
