Rahman unleashed a change of pace to force du Plessis into a mishit. The South African's shot landed in the hands of New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra, who ran and dived to take an acrobatic catch.
Soon afterward, Rahman pulled the length back, angling the ball away from Patidar and inducing an edge off his bat for the ball to stick into the gloves of MS Dhoni behind the stumps.
