On the fifth ball of the third over, Riaz pitched a fast short ball. Guptill failed to time his pull properly and edged the ball in the air. Riaz took the catch comfortably on the follow through and then kissed Guptill on the latter's helmet grill.

He was finally dismissed by Mohammad Nawaz, but the damage was done as Sultans looked set for a huge total.
