ABD succeeds in effecting a stumping despite a fumble

This had happened during 14th over of Melbourne Stars' run chase which was bowled by Afghan mystery spinner Mujeeb ur Rahman and Adam Zampa was on strike. On fourth ball, Rahman had bowled a floater outside off-stump as Zampa came down track to dispatch ball into stands. 

t only did he end up missing ball completely but even de Villiers who was standing behind stumps also failed to collect ball as well. Surprisingly, batsman was t aware of what was happening at that point as smart wicket-keeper sensed picked up ball and dislodged bails on second occasion.
