A comedy of errors was pretty evident in the sixth over of the super our clash between India and Pakistan clash in the Asia Cup after Fakhar Zaman and Khushdil Shah both rushed after a high ball off Rohit Sharma’s bat in order to grab it. Eventually, the duo collided but somehow Shah managed to complete the catch and ended the fiery knock by the Indian skipper.ย
Over the past few years, Pakistan has evolved a lot in the shortest format of the game. However, some things are difficult to change and so seems to be the case with Pakistan’s historically renowned fielding disasters.

In the past, the men in green often used to lose games owing to misfields and dropped catches, a glimpse of which was offered again in Dubai on Sunday. India lost the toss and was sent in to bat first in their first Super Four game of the Asia Cup. Openers KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma came out all guns blazing with sensational touch as they raced to 54 runs in just five overs when Haris Rauf took hold of the ball for his second over.
On the very first delivery, an aggressive slog attempt by Rohit Sharma sent the ball flying in the air towards mid-off. At first, it looked like a simple catch for Khushdil Shah only for Fakhar Zaman to appear in the picture out of nowhere. While Shah positioned himself well under the ball, Zaman suddenly leaped at him and made him tumble over just as the ball dropped towards them.

By some miracle, however, Shah remained unfazed until the ball was safely in his grasp thus completing a superficially-manufactured brilliant catch. He could not help but point his hand at his teammate and laugh his heart out as Rohit walked back to the pavilion for a flamboyant 28 off 16 deliveries.
