Faheem Ashraf completes relay catch to dismiss Avishka Fernando in Rawalpindi

Faheem Ashraf executed a remarkable relay catch to dismiss Avishka Fernando after debutant keeper Saad Baig mishandled an easy chance during an ODI tri-series match in Rawalpindi on October 18, 2026. Baig had attempted to catch a top edge but lost the ball, which Ashraf caught before it hit the ground. The catch broke the opening partnership for Sri Lanka, who had started the match solidly with an opening stand of 30 runs. Pakistan had scored 305 runs in their innings and aimed to capitalize on this breakthrough as they continued to apply pressure on the Sri Lankan batting lineup.
