In a tense World Cup 2023 encounter between Afghanistan and New Zealand, the game reached a pivotal moment. Mujeeb’s delivery to Ravindra proved fateful as a low full-toss on leg-stump saw Ravindra flicking it upward towards short mid-wicket. Shahidi, positioned perfectly, attempted the catch, but the ball slipped from his grasp, hitting the ground. A missed chance that could weigh heavily on Afghanistan’s fortunes.
Earlier – Afghan spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman made a significant impact. He skillfully bowled out the formidable Devon Conway with a perfect LBW decision, creating a moment that cricket enthusiasts will remember for years to come.
