Guptill, batting on 21, flicked a length delivery from Saifuddin towards the fine-leg boundary. The shot, carrying ample pace off the delivery, was speeding past Taskin, when he leapt to his left side, stretching his arm to reach the travelling ball.
Even with little time to react, Taskin managed to dive across and cling onto the ball with his non-bowling arm, sparking off ecstatic celebrations among his Bangladesh teammates.
Given the power with which the shot was played, Taskin showed tremendous reflexes to complete the catch, that too with one hand.
The wonder catch ended Guptill’s knock in the sixth over, Bangladesh’s second breakthrough of the innings.
