In a recent interview with Star Sports, Shaheen Shah Afridi, a fast bowler in the national cricket team, shared his game plan ahead of the highly anticipated match against India in the Asia Cup.
Afridi emphasized that his primary objective is to secure early wickets for his team, recognizing the significance of removing the opposing team’s openers. He noted that openers are typically more susceptible to his bowling, and their dismissal can significantly increase the pressure on the opposing team.
Afridi highlighted that middle-order batsmen often struggle when facing the new ball, making it easier for him to take wickets in the initial stages of the game. His recent performances underscore this strategy, with Afridi dismissing both openers in the opening match against Nepal in the Asia Cup. Additionally, he mentioned that he had previously faced Rohit Sharma in the T20 Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup, where he managed to outwit him.
The upcoming match between Pakistan and India is scheduled for 2:30 PM at Pali Kale Stadium in Kandy, making it a highly anticipated and crucial encounter for cricket fans.
