The 12th over of the Asia Lions' innings was being bowled by Albie Morkel, in which the South African had already dismissed Lions' captain Misbah-ul-Haq on the first delivery. On the 4th delivery, Asghar Afghan, who had already smacked 2 boundaries and 2 sixes, dispatched another one towards the boundary line.

However, Kevin Pietersen, fielding at the boundary line, decided to put a stop to this inning with his fitness. He timed his backwards jump to perfection as he caught the ball mid-air. As he was landing, his wits had accurately calculated that he'd land beyond the boundary rope, and he tossed the ball towards his teammate Darren Sammy. With this, these two completed a fantastic partnership catch to dismiss Asghar Afghan.
