A Stunning Catch to Dismiss Rizwan
Phillips’ brilliance was not limited to just the India game. In New Zealand’s opening match against Pakistan, he pulled off another spectacular catch to send Mohammad Rizwan back to the pavilion. Rizwan, who was batting on just 3 runs, played a shot towards the point region, but Phillips, stationed there, dived at an awkward angle and plucked the ball out of thin air. His outstanding effort gave New Zealand a crucial advantage, leading to a commanding 60-run victory over Pakistan.
