First he takes wickets with ripping legbreaks, not always associated with Shahid Afridi's style of bowling. Then he comes, sees out a few deliveries and with victory all but certain, seals it with a six. While the Test team continues to struggle in South Africa, at least one Pakistani cricketer is ensuring there's much reason to celebrate. At 38, Shahid Afridi he's proving to be far from a spent force at the franchise level. A month's inactivity for a retired cricketer can be a long time, but for Afridi, who has just made a switch from T10 to T20, it seemed merely a break to return re-energised.
Shahid Afrdi is the Man of the Match
Liam Dawson: Decent chase in the end, wicket got harder as the game went on. Batting has been hard work, but we're confident with the team we have. Winning is good, long way to go.
