In a thrilling first Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh, Mohammad Rizwan‘s exceptional one-handed catch off Naseem Shah‘s delivery has sent the cricketing world into a frenzy. The wicketkeeper-batter’s acrobatic feat not only dismissed Zakir Hasan but also provided a much-nee🦩ded breakthrough for the Pakista🍬ni team.
Mohammad Rizwan plucks a stunner
On the last ball of the 17th over, Naseem, the 21-year-old pace sensation, bowled a back-of-length deli🃏very that pitched well outside the off-stump. Hasan, the Bangladeshi opener, was tempted to drive through the offside without moving his feet. However, the ball took an o♑utside edge, flying towards the slip cordon.
Rizwan, known for his agility and reflexes, reacted swiftly, running to his left and stretching his left hand. With a single, fluid motion, he pulled off a stunning one-handed catch, leaving the crowd and commentators in awe. The catch was a testament to Rizwan’s exceptional athleticism and his ability to execute difficult catches under pressure.

Bangladesh strategising a comeback
Despite Rizwan’s heroics, Bangladesh managed to make a comeback on the start of the third day’s play at 90-2, still trailing Pakistan by a significant margin of 358 runs. Shaiman Islam and Mominul Haque are the unbeaten batters for Bangladesh, with🍰 scores of 42 and 13 respectively.
Pakistan, who had earlier declared their first innings at 448-6, were led by Saud Shakeel‘s 141-run innings. Rizwan himself contributed a valuable 171 runs to the total.
As the match progresses, it remains to be seen whether Bangladesh can make a comeback and avoid a heavy defeat. The cricketing world will be eagerly watching to see if there are more moments of brilliance like Rizwan’s catch in store.
