Shaheen Shah Afridi, the top fast bowler for Pakistan, wants to play cricket like his father-in-law, the former captain Shahid Afridi, by taking risks.
Shaheen Afridi stated that Shahid Afridi is his hero and that he wants to be like him during the post-match talk following the game.
“Shahid Afridi is my hero; he always gives us tips,” Shaheen Afridi remarked. My goal is to emulate him when playing cricket.
“Records are meant to be broken, and we’re happy to have set records for Pakistan,” he remarked.
The squad is now aiming for a berth in the semi-finals, Shaheen said, expressing their satisfaction at winning the match against Bangladesh.
“We still aim to finish in the top four,” he stated. Today, we tried to increase the net run rate and conclude the game swiftly. We’re still going to attempt to do well in the competition.
It should be mentioned that in the ICC Men’s World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh, Shaheen Afridi became the fastest fast bowler to reach 100 wickets in one-day internationals.
He surpassed Mitchell Starc of Australia, who took the same amount of wickets in 52 games, by reaching this milestone in 51 games.
Pakistan’s batsmen successfully chased down the 205-run total, securing a commanding victory by seven wickets. The Green Shirts needed this much-needed victory to keep their hopes of making it to the semifinals alive.
A win for the Proteas might significantly affect Pakistan’s prospects of advancing to the semi-finals; therefore, today’s match between South Africa and New Zealand is vital for the Pakistani squad. With the hope that a victory will put Pakistan in the World Cup semifinals, the Pakistani supporters are focused on the South African squad.
