The first match of the Test series between Pakistan and Bangladesh is being played in Rawalpindi. The host team declared the first innings at 448 runs. By the end of the second day’s play, Bangladesh had scored 27 runs in the first innings without losing any wicket.

Zakir Hasan and Shadnam Islam had the intention of making a big opening partnership. But as soon as the third day started, Mohammad Rizwan dashed their hopes. Rizwan took a brilliant one-handed catch to dismiss Zakir Hasan off Naseem Shah’s bowling, the video of which is going viral on social media.

Mohammad Rizwan took the catch by jumping fast

Naseem Shah bowled the 17th over for Pakistan. On the fifth ball of the over, Zakir Hasan wanted to hit a shot, but the ball went backwards after hitting his bat and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan took a one-handed catch without any mistake. Let us tell you, the ball was a little far from Rizwan, but he managed to catch it by jumping quickly. Bangladeshi opener Zakir Hasan was out after scoring 12 runs in 58 balls.
