National cricket team’s fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has said that he tried to get a breakthrough with the new ball, Alhamdulillah he succeeded.
Speaking after the match against India, Shaheen Afridi said that the match was not played due to rain, but if it was, the result was in our hands, we cannot do anything about the weather.
He added that the performance of the team during the innings was very good, the effort is to get a breakthrough for the team in the first over, I was trying to swing from the front but the ball was not swinging in the right areas.
Shaheen Afridi said that he kept the combination of in-swing and out-swing and it proved to be quite helpful, taking the first two wickets with the help of out-swing combination.
The national team bowler also said that during the match he was trying to bowl more dot balls to put pressure on them.
He praised the Indian batsman Virat Kohli and said that Virat is a good player, his runs against Pakistan are also high, Virat Kohli’s wicket was the most important for us because he is the backbone of the Indian batting line.
He said that Mickey Arthur always says that fast bowlers win the tournament and we tried to bowl in partnership.
Shaheen Afridi said that Haris Rauf’s role is to scare the next team with his pace and bouncers, Naseem Shah and I try to go more on the swing.
He added that playing in front of his own people is a different pleasure, hopefully the Gaddafi Stadium will be a house full and the fans will come to support us.
