PAK vs ENG: 'Itne Selfish Players': Shaheen Afridi's Sarcastic Tweet On Babar Azam And Mohammad Rizwan After Pakistan’s Win Goes Viral

Shaheen Afridi fired back at critics of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan after their stunning 203-run undefeated partnership against England in the second T20I, which helped Pakistan win by ten wickets.

Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan shone for Pakistan against England in the second Twenty20 International of the seven-match series on Thursday (September 22). The pair made an unbroken 203 runs for the first wicket, allowing Pakistan to win by 10 wickets.

Pakistan recovered from losing to England by six wickets in the opening Twenty20 international of the seven-match series in Karachi by defeating the visitors by ten wickets in the second match on Thursday (September 22), levelling the series. Without losing a wicket, the hosts scored 200 runs to reach their goal in 19.3 overs.

Mohammad Rizwan, the Men in Green’s hitting partner, finished unbeaten on 88 runs from 51 balls, while captain Babar Azam scored an unbroken 110 runs from 66 balls.

Since the start of the Asia Cup, Babar has been a little out of it, but on Thursday, he dispelled all doubts about his form and strike rate by putting up an incredible performance. He hit 11 fours and five fives during his time at the plate, scoring runs with a strike rate of 166.67.

“Absolutely proud of this amazing Pakistani team,” Shaheen Afridi further wrote.

Shaheen’s last Pakistani appearance came in the first Test of a two-match series against Sri Lanka in July at Galle. He suffered an injury while fielding in the game, and has been out since. Given that he was chosen for the team’s 15-person roster for the T20 World Cup, he is expected to make a comeback there.
