PSL 8: Shaheen takes fifer on a batting track to prove his worth

Shaheen Afridi celebrates wicket - PCBShaheen Shah Afridi was on song for Lahore Qalandars at home as he led his team to a convincing 40-run victory against Peshawar Zalmi on Sunday. It looked a perfect batting track after Fakhar Zaman, Abdullah Shafique, and Sam Billings led Qalandars to a towering 241-run total which is the third-highest in tournament's history. But, Shaheen made the pitch look like bowling friendly as he took five wickets to rattle the opposition. The left-arm pacer began with breaking the bat of Mohammad Haris with a speedy delivery. On the very next ball, he clean bowled Haris to retain his first-over dominance. Later on, he bagged Babar Azam, James Neesham, Wahab Riaz and Saad Masood to complete his second fifer in PSL. Following a breathtaking spell from Shaheen, twitter was flooded with massive applause for him.  Qalandars beat Zalmi by 40 runs to win their third match in PSL 8 and first at their home ground.After opting to bat first, Qalandars posted a mammoth 242-run target before restricting Zalmi to 201 runs in 20 overs, thanks to an exceptional batting display from Fakhar and Abdullah Shafique and a five-wicket haul from Shaheen.In reply to the big total, Zalmi had a good partnership from Saim Ayub and Tom Kohler-Cadmore after losing both openers early. Shaheen gave Qalandars the best start they could get against Zalmi. The skipper Shaheen bowled out Mohammad Haris with a sensational yorker on the second ball of his first over. Later on, bagged Babar to put the opposition on back foot.  Comments Submit مضمون کا ماخذ:مصری ڈریمز ڈیلکس
