Pakistan’s Saud Shakeel got a lucky escape in the Pakistan vs New Zealand ODI Tri-Series Final as Devon Conway failed to hold on to a tough chance at fine leg.
The Dropped Catch Incident
- The moment occurred in the 8th over, when William O’Rourke bowled a short delivery outside leg-stump to Saud Shakeel.
- Shakeel attempted a top-edged pull shot, sending the ball toward fine leg.
- Conway made a diving effort but couldn’t complete the catch, with the ball slipping out of his hands.
This missed opportunity allowed Shakeel to continue his innings, which could prove costly for New Zealand in the final. Pakistan had opted to bat first and were building a steady partnership after an early loss.
