New Zealand vs Pakistan: Devon Conway was ridden by Shadab Khan
Pakistan got off to a brilliant start to their semi-final clash against New Zealand as they took three wickets early in the innings to pin the Kiwis back. After Shaheen Afridi sent Finn Allen back early, Devon Conway and captain Kane Williamson partnered to keep the innings steady.
But just when it looked like the duo would build a strong foundation for the team, Shadab Khan produced an amazing piece of field work to end Conway’s stay.
While Conway wanted to steal a single by pushing the ball into the middle, the Pakistani vice-captain reacted quickly and produced a direct hit.
