Watch: Salman Ali Agha sends Matthew Breetzke packing with stunning catch

Pakistan are taking on South Africa in Match 3 of the Tri-Nation series at the National Stadium in Karachi on February 12. South Africa were cruising at one point in time with set batters Matthew Breetzke and Heinrich Klaasen wreaking havoc. The scorecard read 238/2 , when Breetzke was dismissed by Khushdil Shah as Salman Ali Agha pulled of a stunner. 

On the first ball of 39th over, Khushdil bowled a flighted delivery as Breetzke shimmied down the track and hammered the drive towards cover. Agha, who was stationed at cover point, dived to his right and plucked the ball out of thin air while being horizontal to the turf. Breetzke finished his innings scoring 83 off just 84 balls laced with 10 boundaries and one maximum. At the end of the innings, South Africa managed to post a huge total of 352/5.

We are experimenting ahead of Champions Trophy: Mohammad Rizwan

After losing the first game against New Zealand, Mohammad Rizwan iterated at the toss that the team is undergoing experimentation with an eye on Champions Trophy 2025. It is worth noting that, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) came under intense scanner after the squad was released with several unexpected names popping up in the list. 

“We have an opportunity to make a good squad for the CT. We are experimenting. We'll go day by day. We'll look to take some momentum into the Champions Trophy. Salman Ali Agha - he bowled very well, I don't think we need additional spinners in the squad. New conditions, new day for us, we need to play good cricket,” said Rizwan at the toss.
