Australia's David Warner and Mitchell Marsh produced a power-hitting masterclass against Pakistan as the five-time champions posted an impressive score of 367-9 in their World Cup group game on Friday.
Amid the carnage of Australian batters, Shaheen Afridi proved to be a standout performer among Pakistan bowlers, securing five wickets and finishing with impressive figures of 5-54. This outstanding performance has seen him equal the record for most wickets by a fast bowler after 48 ODIs. Shaheen Afridi's tally of 95 wickets in 48 ODIs matches that of Mitchell Starc, who also reached the same milestone in the same number of games.
It was Shaheen's second five-wicket in World Cup history, equaling the record held by his father-in-law Shahid Afridi, who took the most five wickets for Pakistan in World Cup history. He also silenced his critics after this performance.
In late breakthroughs he defeated Mitch Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood to take his second five-wicket haul.
Furthermore, Shaheen Afridi has made a name for himself alongside cricket legend Shahid Afridi by equaling the record for Pakistan's most whistlers in World Cups. Following his outstanding strike against Australia in Bengaluru on Friday, Shaheen Afridi now has two World Cup goals to his name, mirroring Shahid Afridi's own two-goal success at the prestigious tournament.
