Hardik Pandya pulls off a stunning move to dismiss Devon Conway in the 3rd T20I at Guwahati
Dismissal Devon Conway it wasn’t just a door; It was a continuation of the psychological nightmare for the Kiwi southpaw. Face to face Harshit RanaA bowler who seemingly unlocked the “cheat code” in his batting, Conway tried to break the shackles by hitting 136.7 km/h. Moving towards the leg side, he looked to lift the ball over the mid-fielder to signal his intent. However, the bat bent slightly in his hands, causing the timing to slow and the ball to hang in the humid Guwahati air. While the contact initially looked enough to clear a standard fielder, Hardik settled inside the circle, patrolling the area like a hawk.
In a split second, Pandya followed the trajectory of the ball, waited for the bottom and launched himself horizontally to the left side. With both feet off the ground, he snared the ball at mid-flight, latched on to the screamer, causing Conway to look on in disbelief before heading back to the pavilion. This catch cemented Rana’s absolute lead over Conway in this round and it was the fifth time the bowler had taken his wicket. The stats tell the story of the overall presentation: Conway managed a paltry 19 runs off 27 balls in five overs against Rana, resulting in a dismal average of 3.80.

New Zealand’s power play collapsed against India in Guwahati T20I
The first six games at the Barsapara Stadium proved to be a tough test for the Black Caps as India’s relentless bowling attack dismantled their top order with surgical precision. After being put into bat, the visitors found no rhythm against a bowling setup that offered considerable zip and a bowling setup that counted for every batter. The breakdown began almost immediately when Rana continued his psychological advantage over Conway, leading to an ill-timed over which was cut brilliantly by a diving Hardik. That screamer in the middle set a furious tone for the innings and shocked the Kiwis shell at 2/1 within three deliveries.
Rachin Ravindra‘s brief counter-attack attempt was quickly smothered by Pandya, who switched from elite fielder to killer bowler to reduce the young left-hander to just 4 runs. presentation of jasprit bumrah In the finale of the restriction, he received a decisive knockout blow as soon as he was uprooted Tim Seiferts off-stump read a dismal 34/3 with the first ball seeded to the left.
