LAHORE – Pakistan pace sensation Shaheen Shah Afridi has achieved another milestone after a late show of impressive bowling against Australia in a World Cup match.
The left-armed fast bowler claimed five-wicket haul, becoming the second Pakistani to achieve the title. He has equaled the record of his father-in-law Shahid Afridi, who is the first player from Pakistan to get two five-fers in World Cup.
Shaheen Afridi dismissed Mitch Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood to achieve the milestone.
