Muzarabani to Bahir Shah, out Caught by Ben Curran!! The short ball has done the job. The ball climbed on to the batter, who was unable to get on top of the bounce. The ball scooped up off the shoulder of the blade for it to be taken easily. A similar delivery had popped up just after drinks but had fallen wide of the fielder. But this time went into the hands. One of the easiest catches that Curran has ever taken. The bowler managed to push the batter back and the ball had enough venom to have the batter in a disconcerted position.
