New Zealand’s opener, Tim Robinson, took a spectacular flight to the point to reject Shadab Khan during the first T20i of the five -game series against Pakistan. Robinson presented an acrobatic effort, which has compared with his teammate Kiwi Glenn Phillips, one of the best races in modern cricket.
New Zealand won the hit and first chose Bowl at Hagley Oval at Christchurch on Sunday, March 16th. Kyle Jamieson, making the return of the T20i after almost two years, gave the hosts a perfect start with a wicket-maiden. Rejects Mohammad Haris for a duck. Debut Hasan Nawaz also departed for a duck.

Watch: Tim Robinson takes an amazing flight to reject Shadab Khan
Tim Robinson took a stunning catch at Backward Point to reject Shadab Khan, reminiscent of Glenn Phillips’ splendor in Trophy Champions. Kyle Jamieson took his third wicket as Pakistan collapsed at 11-4 at the opener of the series.
Returning to the national side, Shadab entered No. 5 after the top collapse. He tried a cut against a broad tradition in the penultimate from Powerplay, but failed to keep it down. Robinson, who is parked on the spot, sank to his left and completed a spectacular kidnapping.
The brilliance of New Zealand Fielding is still an essential advantage. Glenn Phillips has developed a habit of taking spectacular catches in the same area, mainly rejecting Muhammad Rizwan and Virat Kohli in Trophy Champions of 2025.
