[Watch] Shaheen Afridi's Dangerous Delivery Shatters Netherlands' Hopes
Shaheen Afridi in World Cup 2023 (X.com)
Shaheen Afridi is one of the best bowlers in world cricket currently and one can expect him to run through the batting line-up of a team like Netherlands. However, contrary to the huge expectations, Afridi failed to get a single wicket in his first spell as Netherlands batters show character and resilience to fight it out against a quality Pakistan attack.
The pacer though came back with fire in his following spells and trapped Saqib Zulfiqar in front in the 33th over, to take his first wicket in World Cup 2023. Talking about how he got that wicket, Afridi came 'round the wicket and bowled a full delivery angling into middle. Saqib Zulfiqar moved across to his right and tried to flick it but could not connect. The ball thudded into his pad and Shaheen Afridi came up with a loud appeal. It was a straightforward decision for the umpire and he wasted no time to raise his finger. Saqib did try his luck with the DRS but it went in vain and Netherlands sinked further.
Bas de Leede was the star of the show for Netherlands and scored a brilliant fighting 67 off 68 balls while he also picked a four-wicket haul with the ball.
