In the ongoing Champions Cup match between the Lake City Panthers and the Nupur Lions, two fielders from the Nurpur Lions provided a memorable highlight during the Panthers mid-innings.
The incident occurred on the first ball of the 20th over, bowled by left-arm spinner Faisal Akram. Panthers' batsman Mubasir Khan, who was at 34 runs, attempted a big hit over long-on, aiming for a six. However, he didn’t connect with the ball cleanly, which meant it lacked the power to clear the boundary.
As the ball descended, two fielders from the Lions rushed to catch it but ended up letting it slip between them. Instead of securing the catch, they watched helplessly as the ball rolled across the boundary line. The fielders and bowlers were visibly distraught by the mishap.
