KARACHI – After recovering from multiple injuries, Lahore Qalandars skipper Shaheen Afridi returned with his original pace and posed a threat to the batsmen.
On Sunday, Lahore Qalandars outfoxed Peshawar Zalmi by 40 runs in the 15th match of Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 8 at the Gaddafi Stadium.
Star pacer gave his side the best start they could get against confident Zalmi. Afridi outfoxed Mohammad Haris with a sensational Yorker. The fiery bowl sent Mohammad Haris to the pavilion with the half bat.
🏏💔 Haris just faced Shaheen Afridi's ball and CRACK his bat broke into two pieces! 😱🤦♂️ Better luck next time, Haris! Maybe bring a spare bat next time just in case 🤷♂️😂#PZvsLQ #HBLPSL2023 pic.twitter.com/Hpqh2phbQl

After getting his hand on Haris, Afridi continued to charge and got Peshawar Zalmi captain Babar Azam.
Shaheen, who went on a rampage during Sunday’s clash, outfoxed Wahab Riaz, Saad Masood, and James Neesham with intervals.

First he'll break your bat.
Then he'll break your stumps.

با ادب با نصیب بے ادب بد نصیب
He gave respect to Babar Azam before the match, called him world class and performed with the ball on the field. That's how it's done, more actions and less words. A five-wicket haul for Shaheen Afridi – take a bow 🦅♥️ #HBLPSL8 pic.twitter.com/CW5YJCmygx
