New Zealand all-rounder Glenn Phillips showed off his outstanding fielding skills with a one-handed stop off Saud Shakeel’s bat in the Champions Trophy 2025 opener against Pakistan on Wednesday in Karachi. The moment occurred after Simon Doull allegedly claimed on air that the 28-year-old does an astonishing 800 pushups in a day when New Zealand were batting.
The South African-born cricketer flexed his muscles against Pakistan’s three-pronged pace attack, hitting a 39-ball 61 to get New Zealand up to a healthy 320/5 in 50 overs. Phillips had also carted the ball around the park during the tri-series opener against the Men in Green in Lahore, hitting an unbeaten 106 as the Kiwis eventually won by 78 runs after amassing 330 in their stipulated 50 overs.
Meanwhile, the below moment occurred in the third over of the innings off Matt Henry’s bowling:
