Australia secured a series-winning 13-run victory against Pakistan in the second T20I at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on Saturday, thanks to Spencer Johnson’s outstanding five-wicket haul. Set to chase 148, Pakistan fell short, managing only 134 before being bowled out in the final over.

In addition to his bowling heroics, Pakistan's star pacer Haris Rauf grabbed attention with his remarkable, albeit unintentional, fielding during Australia’s innings. Rauf pulled off a brilliant save at long-off, preventing what seemed like a certain boundary, which later went viral on social media.

On the second ball of the 12th over, Glenn Maxwell sent a length ball racing towards the boundary. Rauf, positioned at long-off, made a desperate dive to stop the ball. Although he didn’t initially stop it cleanly, Rauf used his leg to block the ball from crossing the boundary rope, saving two crucial runs for Pakistan. The TV umpire reviewed the effort, and Rauf’s acrobatic attempt was widely praised online.

Cricket.com.au highlighted the moment on X (formerly known as Twitter), captioning the post: "It really is Haris Rauf's series #AUSvPAK."

In addition to his brilliant fielding, Rauf was instrumental with the ball, taking 4 wickets for just 22 runs as Pakistan restricted Australia to 147-9 in their allotted 20 overs.
