At 22.1 overs, Haris Rauf bowled to Marnus Labuschagne, and what followed was a moment of comical fielding. The ball was nudged towards square leg, and an unexpected mix-up between fielders Mohammad Wasim Jr and Mohammad Nawaz ensued, resulting in a boundary, awarding four runs to batting side and leaving Rauf amused.

In another amusing moment at 24.5 overs, Haris Rauf bowled to Glenn Maxwell, who managed to send the ball to backward point. Hasan Ali, fielding there, exhibited extraordinary reflexes by stretching out his legs in front of him to stop the ball from reaching the boundary. While Hasan's incredible effort was lauded, the potential risk of injury added a touch of suspense to the moment. Fortunately, Hasan's well-timed save turned into a light-hearted moment as all involved shared a chuckle, relieved that no harm was done.
