ICC T20 World Cup 2021: [Watch] Afghanistan's Mohammad Shahzad takes a one-handed blinder to dismiss Scotland's Matthew Cross

Afghanistan wicket-keeper Mohammad Shahzad produced a one-handed stunner to dismiss Scotland's Matthew Cross. He took this catch in the Super 12 clash at the ICC T20 World Cup in Sharjah.

The incident took place in the fifth over of the match when Cross edged one which was flying to the third-man boundary. The ball pitched outside off-stump and the batter just poked at the ball. It found the outside edge of the Scotland batsman and Mohammad Shahzad flew to his right to pull off a hell of a catch.

The veteran cricketer showed great reflex to catch the ball with one hand. Mohammad Shahzad dived full length to his right and plucked it with one hand.

Watch the clip here:

Mohammad Shahzad was certainly elated with the catch as he celebrated with his arms aloft as his Afghanistan teammates crowded him.
