New Zealander Devon Conway (R) saves a border in a T20I match against Pakistan on Saturday.
New Zealand wicketkeeper Devon Conway made a unique and amazing save while fielding the ball in a T20I game against Pakistan in Christchurch on Saturday. Conway starred in the tri-series game which also includes Bangladesh and used his football skills to deprive Pakistan of a border. Shadab Khan played a first Tim Southee shot. The connection between the bat and the ball was not so good for Shadab and that gave Conway a chance to run from behind and make a rescue attempt.
Another fielder, Ish Sodhi, also ran for the ball from the fine leg, but Conway had good ground to reach the ball in front of him. The wicketkeeper slid on the ground before kicking the ball away with his left foot inches inside the boundary line.

Speaking of the tri-series game, Pakistan defeated New Zealand by 6 wickets.
Babar Azam took advantage of his luck by not getting 79 out of 53 balls as his team took command of the series after their opening 21-run win over Bangladesh on Friday. All three sides are using the week-long tournament at Hagley Oval to prepare for the T20 World Cup in Australia.
The New Zealander’s 147 for 8 after winning the toss seemed inadequate and Babar’s knock took away any prospect of victory, sending the tourists to 149 for 4 with 10 balls left.
