Shaheen Afridi’s triple blow nailed down all chances of a potential West Indies comeback as he bowled an immaculate spell in the final overs. After Mohammed Nawaz and Haris Rauf sent back both Brandon King and Nicholas Pooran, the onus was on Afridi to finish the job and he did so in style.
Bowling the 17th over, Shaheen Afridi first scalped a dangerous-looking Odean Smith, before sending Dominic Drakes and Hayden Walsh Jr back to the pavilion for first-ball ducks in an epic spell of fast bowling. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) lauded his efforts and went as far as suggesting that the 21-year-old was the finest T20 fast bowler in the world. Watch the video here:

With this win, Pakistan has gained an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. The final match will be played on Thursday. Shaheen Afridi continues to be at his ruthless best, as was seen during the T20 World Cup last month. The 21-year-old was one of the key reasons behind the Men in Green’s run to the semi-finals, where they lost to eventual champions Australia.
