Bangladesh have entered the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup with an 84-run win over Papua New Guinea (PNG). The Mahmudullah-led side completely dominated PNG in the game, first with the bat and later with the ball. Bangladesh posted 181/7 batting first before their bowlers bundled out the Asad Vala-led side for a total of 97 to register a comfortable win by 84 runs. In the other match in Oman, hosts were outclassed by Scotland as the Kyle Coetzer-led side topped Group B. Apart from batting and bowling, there were several top-class fielding performances from the teams that grabbed everyone’s attention. The ICC took to Instagram to share a video of some of the “mind-boggling catches” in a compilation of all the dismissals from the final day of the Oman leg of the T20 World Cup.

“From mind-boggling catches to canny bowling, there were all sorts of dismissals on the final day of the Oman leg of matches,” the video was captioned on Instagram.

Here is a look at some of the day’s best catches:

In the first match of the double-header on Thursday, Shakib struck on his first ball to dismiss PNG all-rounder Charles Amini. Shakib bowled a flighted ball to Amini who went for a big shot but Mohammad Naim put up a splendid show in the field with his brilliant diving catch that stopped the ball from clearing the boundary rope.

Papua New Guinea’s Sese Bau was exceptional in the fielding, taking a total of three catches. His catch at the square-leg fence to dismiss Litton Das also featured in ICC’s post.
