But then in the next over, Barry McCarthy pulled off an excellent fielding effort down the boundary line which left everyone in awe.

Having taken the wickets of David Warner and Mitchell Marsh, Barry McCarthy was the pick of the Irish bowlers. In the 15th over, bowled by Mark Adair, Stoinis lofted a slower delivery which was pitched outside off stump towards long-on. The ball went high above the sky as much as it could, and it looked like the ball would go over the ropes.

However, McCarthy had other plans. He went high while running to his left and caught the ball initially before he realized that his body had crossed the line. With a sharp presence of mind, he immediately threw the ball inside the boundary ropes to save a certain six and landed awkwardly after he pushed the ball inside. As a result, Stoinis could only score a couple of runs instead of six.
