Shaheen Afridi takes a four-wicket haul to help Pakistan advance into the semi-finals
Just when it seemed, they are knocked out of the T20 World Cup 2022, Pakistan found a way to make it into the semi-finals. The Babar Azam-led side got the lucky entry into the knockout stage as the Netherlands pulled one of the biggest upsets of the tournament to eliminate South Africa.
South Africa’s loss opened the doors for Pakistan and all they needed was a win against Bangladesh. And they produced a magnificent performance to advance into the semi-finals. One of the main architects behind their win was pacer Shaheen Afridi.
The left- arm after a while looked settled and delivered a sensational bowling performance to put his team on top and eventually win the game for the side. Afridi picked a four-wicket haul and helped his side restrict the opposition to a total of just 127.
