**Auckland, New Zealand:** Pakistan secured a convincing victory in the third T20I against New Zealand at Eden Park on March 21st, with a breathtaking catch by Haris Rauf stealing the spotlight. New Zealand, batting first, posted a challenging 205 runs, thanks largely to Mark Chapman’s impressive 94.
However, the highlight of the match was undoubtedly Rauf’s stunning one-handed catch to dismiss Finn Allen. Allen attempted a big shot, but Rauf, seemingly defying gravity, leaped to his right and plucked the ball out of the air with a spectacular catch that left Allen visibly astonished.
Pakistan chased down the target with ease, reaching the finish line with four overs to spare and the loss of only one wicket. Hasan Nawaz led the charge with a magnificent unbeaten century (105 runs off 45 balls, including 10 fours and seven sixes), securing Pakistan’s win. The match was a thrilling spectacle, marked by both outstanding batting and a truly memorable fielding display.
