The universe Boss started the over of Lamichhane with the huge six over deep mid-wicket. However, he went for another one in the same region, but Ingram at deep midwicket caught the ball over his head inches away from the boundary line, as he soon as he saw that he was losing his balance, he threw the ball towards Axar, who was ten yards away. Patel made no mistake and took the ball comfortably with a wide smile on his face while catching it. It was some amazing fielding display from Ingram.
