Pakistan's experienced fast bowler Shaheen Afridi had a memorable outing with the ball in the second ODI of the ongoing three-match series against South Africa. The left-arm pacer dismantled the South African batting unit with his razor-sharp bowling, registering a clinical four-wicket haul in the high-voltage affair. 

Hailed for his exceptional swing bowling, Shaheen Afridi began his onslaught on the Proteas by dismissing experienced finisher David Miller. From over the wicket, Shaheen bowled a good length delivery which jagged back into the left-handed batter after pitching around the off stump. 

As the batter got stuck in the crease, the ball took a thin inside edge off his bat, with Pakistan's wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan taking a sharp catch behind the stumps. As soon as Rizwan grabbed the ball, the Pakistani players, including Afridi, appealed for a caught behind. However, the on-field umpire's not out decision forced Rizwan to go upstairs and challenge the call. 

The TV umpire detected a clear spike in the ultra-edge, eventually asking his on-field colleague to overturn his decision. As a result, Shaheen bagged his first wicket of the day, getting rid of the well-set Miller at a crucial juncture. 

Pakistan Clinch ODI Series With Another Clinical Win

Batting first, the visitors posted a whopping 329-run total, riding on a stupendous collective batting effort. In response, the Proteas were bowled out for 248 runs, losing the game by 81 runs.
