After a continuous winning streak of 5 matches Pakistan cricket team reached the semi-final of the T20 world cup. Hard luck, We didn’t win the match against Australia but our players gave them a tough time. All the players gave their best performance throughout the series.

But the former all-rounder Shahid Afridi is upset about Shaheen Shah Afridi’s bowling in the semi-final match. As the young pacer gave 3 back-to-back sixes to Mathew Wade in the last over and made Australia win the match.

In the interview with Samma TV, Boom Boom Afridi asserted that even if Hassan Ali dropped an important catch but he should not have lost hope. He said,

“No doubt it was good. But I am not happy with Shaheen in one area. Okay, so Hassan Ali dropped the catch that does not mean that you should bowl badly and give 3 successive sixes.”

He added,

“He has so much pace and he should have used it sensibly. Shaheen should have tried to bowl outside the stumps and Yorker with his pace. It is okay if the catch was dropped, you shouldn’t have to be discouraged and make a comeback. He is not the sort of bowler to give hits like that.”

Overall Shaheen Afridi gave an outstanding performance, even in the semi-final he sent back the Australian captain Aaron Finch in 1st over. And in the historical match against India, he gave two important wickets to Pakistan of top players like Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul.
