Former Pakistan left-arm seamer Wasim Akram heaped praises on Pakistan’s performance in the game against Afghanistan and was highly impressed with the finishing abilities of Asif Ali. Pakistan managed to pull off yet another victory in the T20 World cup 2021 super 12 stages, and they have been the most dominating side in the group2 so far.

Afghanistan batted first, and they had a lot of hiccups in the early stages of the match, with wickets falling quickly. They fixed it with an excellent partnership from Mohammad Nabi and Gulbadin Naib, who took to a respectable total of 147. However, it wasn’t enough against a strong batting lineup of Pakistan, who finished the game with one over to spare.

Wasim Akram couldn’t stop himself from taking it to Twitter as he congratulated Pakistan for their overall performance and regarded Asif Ali to be the best finisher in the game in his tweet.

“Asif Ali is the best finisher in the game congratulations Pakistan. What a performance. #ICCT20Worldcup2021 #Asif Ali #PakvsAfghanistan,” Wasim Akram tweeted on Twitter.

Asif Ali hit four sixes in the penultimate over when the required scenario was 24 needed off 12 deliveries, and he made sure that the game did not go into the wire at all. It was clinical hitting from the right-hander, and teams will now be aware of his threat with the bat down the order.
