Haris Rauf Catch

Haris Rauf Catch: South Africa is currently taking on Pakistan in the second ODI match at The Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. The visiting Pakistan team picked up a nail-biting 3-wicket victory in a thriller of an encounter on Friday where skipper Babar Azam smashed a remarkable match-winning century to help his team take a 1-0 lead in the three-match South Africa vs Pakistan ODI series.

Haris Rauf catch to dismiss Heinrich Klaasen

After losing the toss and being asked to bat first, South Africa got off to a fine start with the opening combo of Aiden Markram and Quinton de Kock composing an excellent stand of 55 runs. De Kock played a wonderful innings of 80 runs off 86 balls while skipper Temba Bavuma also contributed with a brilliant knock of 92 runs. However, it was Pakistani pacer Haris Rauf who stole the show with an absolute screamer of a catch to dismiss Heinrich Klaasen in the 48th over of the game. Early into his innings, Klaasen went for a premeditated paddle-sweep shot but Rauf took an incredible catch out of nowhere while fielding at short fine-leg region.
