WATCH: Haris Rauf stuns with one-handed catch in Pak vs NZ third T20

Pakistan’s fast bowler Haris Rauf left fans in awe with a stunning one-handed catch off Finn Allen’s shot on Shaheen Afridi’s delivery on Friday during the third T20 match against New Zealand.

The spectacular grab provided a much-needed breakthrough for the struggling Green Shirts, who have been unable to deliver any notable performances in the ongoing series against the Kiwis.

Shaheen Afridi bowled a routine delivery, but Rauf turned it into a moment of brilliance, pulling off an incredible catch that sent Allen back to the pavilion for a duck.

Positioned at short fine leg, Rauf reacted swiftly to Allen’s shot, diving just in time to snatch the fast-traveling ball out of the air, turning what seemed like an impossible chance into a match-defining moment.

Earlier, Pakistan won the toss and opted to bowl first at Eden Park, aiming to restrict New Zealand to a manageable total in a crucial match to stay alive in the series. The Kiwis currently lead the series with two wins, putting Pakistan under pressure to make a comeback.
