**Auckland, New Zealand –** A comical fielding error by Pakistan’s Shadab Khan overshadowed an otherwise exciting third T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan at Eden Park on Friday. During the fifth over, Shadab, known for his fielding prowess, inexplicably missed a simple pick-up and throw, allowing the ball to roll through his legs for a boundary. The blunder has since gone viral on social media, drawing considerable amusement and criticism.
Despite the mishap, Pakistan are currently in a strong position in their chase of New Zealand’s imposing 204-run total. At the time of writing, they are 84/1, with Hasan Nawaz and Salman Agha at the crease. New Zealand’s impressive total was largely thanks to Mark Chapman’s stunning 94 off 44 balls. Haris Rauf was Pakistan’s top bowler, taking three wickets. The match is expected to provide a thrilling finish.
