It's not been a great season for Punjab in terms of fielding and catching efficiency. Chahal floats one up on leg stump, Klaasen goes for the sweep but gets nowhere near it. The top edge balloons straight to Shashank at deep backward square leg. He gets under it, gets his hands to it, and puts it down and worse, the ball trickles back into the fence.
