The hilarious moment happened when Melbourne Stars pacer Mark Steketee bowled a front-foot no-ball to Sydney Thunder’s Cameron Bancroft on the first delivery of the innings.
The batter tried to go for the maximum but he mistimed the shot to third man where Usama Mir took a brilliant catch while diving forward.
Usama Mir started celebrating but was left confused when his teammate did not celebrate but told him to throw the ball. The Pakistan all-rounder was amused after being told it was a free hit.
