Windies’ batsman Shai Hope took a miraculous catch with his left hand to get rid of Neil Wagner, who attempted a booming drive through the covers. Earlier, Trent Boult too did something similar. Boult took a one-handed stunner to get rid of Shimron Hetmyer.
Here is the video of Hope’s catch:

New Zealand was on 257 when the incident took place off the bowling of Kemar Roach. Wagner on 8 came down hard at the ball, only to find a thickish outside edge. The ball flew towards the flying fifth slip, where an acrobatic Shai pulled a one-handed catch and stunned the Hamilton crowd.
Earlier, during the West Indies innings, Boult was seen taking a similar kind of a catch on his follow through. Yet, we feel that Shai Hope’s catch was better because he is a right-hander and he took the catch with his left hand.
Here is the video of Boult’s catch:
