Pakistan's experienced all-rounder Faheem Ashraf showcased his bowling prowess in Lahore Qalandars' Global Super League (GSL) clash against Victoria at Providence Stadium in Guyana. Although the seam-bowling all-rounder was expensive in his first few overs, he castled Jackson Smith to hit the final nail in the coffin for the Qalandars. 

The incident occurred in the final over of Victoria's innings when the Qalandars had pushed them to the verge of defeat. Bowling the last over of the innings, Faheem Ashraf delivered a peach that shattered Smith's middle stump. 

From over the wicket, Faheem bowled a good length ball that came back into Smith after pitching around the off stump. As the batter went for a wild slog, he was beaten by Faheem's change of pace, with the ball knocking over his middle stump. 

As soon as the final wicket fell, the famed Pakistani all-rounder celebrated the dismissal, which ensured their clinical victory in the match.
