Tinotenda Maposa to Tayyab Tahir
OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! First T20I wicket for Tinotenda Maposa and he is all pumped up and rightly so! Things going further downhill for Pakistan here. Tinotenda Maposa bowls a full ball, sliding on the leg stump line, Tayyab Tahir looks to whip it across aerially but doesn't get the timing right. Ends up getting a thick healthy top-edge that flies over the fine leg region. The wicket-keeper Tadiwanashe Marumani calls for his catch, moves to his left and takes a safe catch. Pakistan are 52/4 now.
