Shaheen Afridi bamboozles rivals by taking four wickets in first over in T20 Blast

 

Pakistani speedster Shaheen Shah Afridi has bowled a breathtaking opening over as he took four wickets in his first over for Nottinghamshire on Friday against Birmingham in T20 Blast, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Saturday.

While defending a total of 169 runs, Shaheen Afridi made a sloppy start to the over by giving five runs through a wide delivery. However, he returned with a bang on the next ball, as he trapped Alex Davies lbw by an inswinging yorker.

Shaheen Afridi was on a hat-trick as he also clean-bowled Chris Benjamin on the next ball.

The left-arm pacer couldn’t complete his hat-trick but struck on the fifth bowl of the over, as he removed Dan Mousley, courtesy of a stunning catch by Olly Stone at short cover.

Shaheen Afridi ended the over with another excellent delivery as he plucked out the off-stump of Ed Barnard, leaving Birmingham reeling at 7-4 after the first over of their innings.

Earlier, in the first innings, Hasan Ali also bowled a remarkable four-over spell for Birmingham, in which he took three crucial wickets, while conceding only 25 runs.

Hasan’s last over was particularly impressive, taking two wickets and enforcing a run-out on last three balls of the innings, restricting Nottinghamshire to a total 0f 168.
