In the 36th match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan's fast bowler Shaheen Afridi and Usman Khan collided and fell to the ground while trying to take a catch against Ireland. However, Afridi did not drop the catch. In this match, Ireland's team, batting first, could score only 106 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in 20 overs.

Imad, who came to bowl the 14th over of the innings, bowled the third ball full towards the off stump. Mark Adair tried to play a big shot on this ball but the ball did not come on the bat properly. Shaheen came from long on and Usman Khan from midwicket to run for the catch. There was no communication between the two fielders. Afridi took the catch and Usman collided with him and fell on the ground. However, Afridi did not drop the catch. The good thing was that neither of them got seriously injured. Pakistan keeps doing such antics in fielding. Adair was out after scoring 15 runs with the help of 2 fours in 19 balls.

Gareth Delany scored the most runs for Ireland in this match. He scored 31 runs in 19 balls with the help of 1 four and 3 sixes.
