During the sixth match of the ongoing T10 League, Team Abu Dhabi pacer Usman Shinwari put on display a first-rate fielding effort to stop the ball going for a six.
It all happened on the first delivery of the ninth over when Deccan Gladiators batsman Kieron Pollard hit a Naveen-ul-Haq delivery towards long-on. While the ball initially appeared to be going over the boundary for a six, Shinwari timed his jump to perfection to register a breathtaking effort.
In the process, the 26-year-old did exceedingly well to save as many as five runs after his teammates had posted 95/9 on the board batting first.

What. An. Effort. 🤯

Shinwari’s effort, however, went in vain as Gladiators successfully chased the 96-run target with 6 wickets in hand. All-rounder Sunil Narine hit the winning runs by slashing Jamie Overton for a boundary on the fourth delivery of the last over.
Brief Scores:
Team Abu Dhabi 95/9 (Luke Wright 25, Joe Clarke 21; Zahoor Khan 3-13) lost to Deccan Gladiators 98/4 (Cameron Delport 40, Kieron Pollard 24; Jamie Overton 3-18) by 6 wickets.
