Pakistan Super League: In the 9th match of the ongoing PSL 2022, Lahore Qalandars defeated Peshawar Zalmi by 29 runs. Captain Shaheen Afridi contributed ably with the bowl while fielding to ensure Lahore's victory. The left-arm pacer picked up 2 wickets and gave away just 19 runs with the bowl and took 2 catches, one of which was an 'incredible' display of fielding effort. 

Lahore's David Wiese was bowling the final over of the Peshawar Zalmi's batting. On the 2nd delivery of the over, Peshawar's Wahab Riaz smacked a big hit towards long-on. Shaheen Afridi, who was fielding at the same position, leapt into the air and took the catch at the boundary line. His feet were about to land on the ropes, so the 21-year old displayed quick presence of mind and popped the ball inside, completing the catch with one hand while diving frontwards.

Shaheen Afridi celebrated this catch in his unique way as he knew the match was in his team's pocket.
