Dhawan came down the track again on the second ball of the 8th over, but Shamsi was smart enough to reduce the pace of the ball and pulled his length back a bit as well. Shikhar had failed to reach the pitch of the ball this time and ended up slicing the ball high in the air, over extra-cover, where Temba Bavuma backtracked to take a comfortable catch.
Here is the video of the dismissal:
