World XI skipper Shahid Afridi went on to mock Rashid Khan after the latter dropped a simple catch at the long-leg boundary. It is known that Rashid Khan is a fine fielder. But he was not up to the mark on Thursday (May 31) night.

Afghanistan talisman leg-spinner Rashid was unable to spot the ball in the light as he gave an expression of the same.

However, former Pakistan captain Afridi found it a perfect opportunity – to make fun of the Afghan spinner as he repeated Rashid’s gestures.

Meanwhile, Rashid, who had a fine IPL for the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) didn’t have the best of matches for the World XI side.

The mystery leg-spinner was on the expensive side as he conceded 48 runs in his four-over quota. However, the linchpin scalped two wickets.

The match was played for a noble cause:

Meanwhile, the World XI took on Windies XI to raise funds for the reconstruction of five damaged stadia of the Carribean.

Moreover, the five stadiums were damaged by the Hurricane Irma and Maria that had hit the country, last year. The match took place at the Home of Cricket, Lord’s.

Meanwhile, the Windies XI obliterated the World XI side by the massive margin of 72 runs.

Windies southpaw opener Evin Lewis scored a quickfire 56 off just 26 balls.

Denesh Ramdin and Marlon Samuels chipped in with 44* and 43 runs respectively.

On the other hand, World XI had their backs against the wall as they were tottering at eight for four. Thisara Perera somewhat played a decent cameo for the World XI as he scored a quickfire 61 off just 37 balls.
