Hardik Pandya conceded 70 runs in seven overs in the first match

Speaking of the video, the incident took place during the 10th over of New Zealand’s innings. Hardik Pandya came up to bowl while Devon Conway was batting. On the fourth delivery of that over, Pandya bowled a full-pitch delivery that Conway drove back to the ball. However, the ball was in the air but it was very low.

Then, Hardik Pandya showed a great and quick reflex to grab the catch out of nowhere. After the catch, he came up with an ice-cold celebration, and Devon Conway was also stunned by that effort. Speaking of the match, New Zealand batters were in big trouble after the first 10 overs.
