Pakistan's star pacer Shaheen Afridi has had a brilliant return from an injury that kept him out of the 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. The young sensation has been prolific in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), picking up 10 wickets in four matches, including a fifer while captaining the Lahore Qalanders in their last match against Babar Azam's Peshawar Zalmi.
During the match, one of Shaheen's wickets was that of his international teammate Mohammad Haris. However, it was two separate deliveries that left the right-handed batter stunned.

It was the first ball of the second innings when Shaheen broke the bat of Haris. With the opener preparing to face Shaheen's pace, the left-arm seamer clean-bowled him on the very next delivery.

Shaheen also got the wicket of his international team skipper Babar Azam in the third over, sending him back to the pavilion for a meagre score of seven runs.
He helped his team with the ball after Fakhar Zaman's exceptional performance with the bat took the Qalanders to a total of 241/3, which is the third-highest total in the tournament's history.

Zaman went ballistic at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore as he smashed Peshawar Zalmi bowlers for 10 sixes on February 26. With 10 sixes in his 96-run knock, Zaman broke Shadab Khan's record for most sixes by a Pakistan batter in Pakistan Super League (PSL) history.
Shaheen's five wickets reduced their opponents to 201/9 in 20 overs as the side revived their campaign to move to third on the league table.
