New Delhi: Pakistan’s fast bowler Naseem Shah had an unforgettable spell on a fresh pitch in Adelaide. The Falcons ripped apart the top order of Australia within the first 20 overs as the Aussies finished for a below-par score of 165.

It was a tremendous effort from the Pakistani cricket team who had been unlucky in the first ODI. Coming to the game, Haris Rauf had a tremendous game with the ball as he picked up his first 5-wicket haul. With the bat, Saim Ayub was the top scorer with 82 runs from 71 balls. Ayub was given full support from Abdullah Shafique from the other end as the men in Green chased down the total in 26 overs.

When did the incident take place?

The incident occurred during the fourth over of Australia’s innings when Short was trying to form a consolidating stand along with veteran batter Steve Smith. Afridi, who had his tail up after dismissing Jake Fraser-McGurk, was fielding near the mid-wicket boundary. Naseem Shah, who was operating from the other end, challenged Matthew Short with a short delivery.

As the swashbuckling batter loves to go aerial in the on-side, he attempted a pull shot in pursuit of six runs. However, he couldn’t time it properly, with the ball travelling straight to Shaheen Afridi, stationed at deep mid-wicket.

But to the dismay of Naseem and Pakistan, the left-hand pacer dropped a sitter and an easy chance. Moreover, Shaheen was also not able to prevent the boundary. The miserly fielding effort of Shaheen was not appreciated by the right-arm pacer who had been toiling hard throughout the day.
