Watch Video: Shaheen Shah Afridi Should Have Used His Head: Former Pakistan Allrounder Shahid Afridi
Former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi said fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi should have used his pace “sensibly” in the semifinal of the T20 World Cup 2021. Matthew Wade and Marcus Stoinis produced a brilliant partnership to carry Australia to a stunning five-wicket win over Pakistan on Thursday. Wade smashed three sixes in Shaheen’s over to fire Australia in the final.
Shahid Afridi said Shaheen should have tried to bowl outside the off-stump. “I am not happy with Shaheen in one area. Okay so Hasan Ali dropped a catch but that does not mean you will bowl badly and get hit for three successive sixes,” Shahid Afridi said on Samaa TV channel.
“Shaheen has so much pace and he should have used it sensibly. Even if the catch was dropped. He should have used his head and tried to bowl outside off stump fast Yorkers with his pace. He is not that sort of bowler to be hit like that,” the former Pakistan captain added.
“I would say he was brilliant in the tournament and I have only seen either Wasim bhai (Akram) or perhaps Muhammad Amir bowl like this with the new ball. He is giving good performances. I hope he learns from this cricket experience and prepares himself for the future,” he said.
Australia will be facing New Zealand in Final of the T20 World Cup 2021 on Sunday at Dubai International Stadium.
