New Zealand batsman Tim Seifert dives to play the shot but misses the ball, watch video PAK vs NZ 5th T20I

Tim Seifert dived while batting: The fifth and last match of the T20 series played between Pakistan and New Zealand was played last Saturday (April 27) at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Pakistan won the match by 9 runs. But now a video of this match is going viral rapidly on social media. It can be seen in the video that the New Zealand batsman is taking a long dive to play the shot. Often you would have seen fielders diving to stop the ball, but here a different scene was seen.

Here the fielder did not dive to stop the ball but the batsman dived to play the shot, but despite so much effort, the batsman's legs slipped. Actually something happened that the ball came out empty. The feat of diving during batting was done by Tim Seifert of New Zealand. It can be seen in the video that Mohammad Aamir throws the ball near the wide line, to play which Seifert takes a long dive and goes near the wide line.

Seifert falls on the ground while trying to play a shot. The ball is very wide. Leave aside the wide line, the ball hits the pitch just before the end line. This incident happened in the sixth over of the second innings of New Zealand. Seifert's effort in the video is really worth watching.
