Naseem Shah, we always knew we were stanning the right cricketer

Naseem Shah, we always knew we were stanning the right cricketer

The teenage allrounder led Pakistan to victory in the Asia Cup match against Afghanistan by hitting two sixes in the last over.
08 Sep, 2022

After the Pakistan versus Afghanistan Asia Cup match last night, there is only one name on everyone’s minds — Naseem Shah.

Let us paint you a picture — Pakistan is batting in the second innings and has lost six more wickets, making it a total of nine, for just 31 runs. With 11 more needed, the tenth batsman, Shah, enters the field, hits two consecutive sixes in the last over taking it home. The crowd goes wild. The young cricketer has done it again.

Shah, known for his bowling, really went off in the match as batsman and no one can stop talking about it. He was appreciated by captain Babar Azam, teammate and man of the match Shadab Khan who said after Javed Miandad and Shahid Afridi, everyone will remember Shah’s sixes, and former cricketer Younus Khan also congratulated him personally.

He has earned former cricketer and current commentator Wasim Akram’s respect as well.

The teenage cricket star’s last two sixes are all over our TLs. Some fans have created fun edits out of them.

There was a heated moment during the match between Asif Ali and Afghan bowler Fareed Ahmad. People have been speculating that Shah was angry at the exchange and it showed.

Meanwhile everyone else:

Us right now.

The match was intense.

But our out of syllabus player knocked them out.

In conclusion:

Congratulations team Pakistan!

After Sadab, Naseem has climbed up the batting ladder from his specialist bowling.

Congratulations Pak team for a great performance by Naseem Shah and Shadab. But I request that Foreign minister and PCB need to intervene urgently and cool down the relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Even if was Afghanistan s mistake let's move forward to strengthen our brotherly relationship.

@Dr. Salaria, Aamir Ahmad Can you explain your use of English why Naseem Shah has to hang on tough! Stop using nonsense to show off your English language capability.

Cricket is a gentlemans game, and the way Afghani behaved was disgraceful and a shame for their country, their flag and cricket. I have never seen such uncivilized behavior from the team of any cricket nation or their fans, as I see at every Pak afg match, they are destroying the spirit of cricket and must be taught how to behave like normal people. It's a shame and they must be fined and banned for few matches to teach them manners.

Naseem's brevity must have brought smiles on faces of millions who are awaiting flood relief aid. Poor Pakistanis, they survive only on hope as their govt. is worse than incompetent.
