Shaheen Afridi puts on a firey display

Fakhar Zaman’s superb innings of 96 runs, Abdullah Shafique’s 75 runs, and Sam Billings’ unbeaten 47 runs helped the Qalandars in scoring a mammoth total of 241/3, the highest total ever achieved by the Lahore team and the third-highest overall total in the PSL.

Shaheen Afridi dealt early blows to Peshawar by removing both openers, Mohammad Haris (0) and Babar Azam (7), in the powerplay during a massive chase. Afridi began his spell with a fierce pace, breaking Haris’ bat on his very first ball, which was pitched outside the off-stump. The ball hit the bottom of the bat, splitting it into two pieces, leaving the batter bewildered and Qalandars’ fielders amused. Afridi then bowled a perfect yorker on the next ball to send Haris’ off-stump tumbling down.

After being away from cricket for more than two months due to a relapsed knee injury, Shaheen Afridi made a successful return to the field in the Pakistan Super League. The left-arm pacer has been in top form since his comeback, taking 10 wickets in just four matches played so far.

Thanks to Shaheen Afridi’s stellar performance, Qalandars clinched a crucial win against Peshawar Zalmi in the PSL 2023. The left-arm pacer took an impressive five-wicket haul, ending with figures of 5/40 in four overs. Qalandars’ 240/3 in 20 overs, backed by Fakhar Zaman’s blistering knock of 96 runs, proved too much for Zalmi, who were restricted to 201/9. Abdullah Shafique (75) and Sam Billings (47*) also contributed significantly with the bat.
