[Watch] Litton Das collides with Matthew Forde to drop easy catch in 2024 BPL
Comilla Victorians captain Litton Das collided with his teammate Matthew Forde, thereby dropping an easy catch of Tanzid Hasan at cover against Chattogram Challengers in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League. The match took place at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium on Tuesday (February 13).
For the unversed, the incident took place during the fourth over of Chattogram Challengers' run-chase. Tanvir bowled a flighted delivery at a good pace and Hasan mistimed it towards the covers. Das went for the catch without making any call, with two fielders keeping their eyes on the ball.
Das even took the catch seconds before colliding with Forde, who also attempted the catch, and the ball spilled out of his hands. Luckily, the duo avoided any serious injury, but the skipper looked unhappy with the dropped chance.
Luckily, Hasan didn't prove too costly as he got out for 41 off 24 balls, adding 21 more runs to his tally after the dropped chance and Chattogram ended up losing the game.
