In a captivating moment during Monday’s Pakistan Super League, a ball-boy stole the spotlight with a remarkable catch beyond the boundary rope. Despite the batter being credited with six runs for clearing the rope, it was the ball-boy who garnered praise from stadium fans and Kiwi star Colin Munro for his impressive diving effort. Munro, positioned near the boundary rope where the catch was taken, expressed amazement at the youngster’s skill and even offered him a warm embrace.
This memorable incident unfolded during the Islamabad United versus Peshawar Zalmi match. Zalmi’s Amer Jamal had struck a delivery from Islamabad pacer Faheem Ashraf for a maximum.
Earlier in the same match, the ball-boy had missed a catch opportunity. However, he redeemed himself by successfully holding onto the chance the second time around. Despite the ball barely crossing the rope, it was a delightful sight to witness a fielder celebrating a six, sharing a light-hearted moment with the ball-boy.
Islamabad United won, putting Peshawar Zalmi to 167/9 after amassing 196/4 on their own. The player of the match was declared to be Shadab Khan.
