The key opportunity for Rana to catch Rizwan at midwicket disappeared when Rizwan hit across the line against Hardik Pandya. Rizwan’s dropped catch did not result in a crucial incident but shortly afterward Kuldeep dropped Saud Shakeel’s chance at long-on during Axar Patel’s delivery.

Rana faced a demanding task by moving sideways before jumping while extending his hands and Kuldeep needed to rapidly sprint to his left while lowering himself.

These two fielding mistakes present Shakeel with an opportunity to capitalize by changing the course of the match as India-Pakistan matches play out under tough pressure conditions.
