Pakistani pacer Shaheen Afridi showcased spell-bounding fast bowling displace to help Hampshire beat Middlesex by 20 runs in the Vitality Blast T20 2020 on Sunday (September 20). Afridi finished the day with a staggering six wickets to his name from the four overs he bowled, giving away just 19 runs.
What's more eye-catching about his spell was that all six wickets that Shaheen picked up were clean-bowled.
The Pak speedster picked up his last four wickets through successive deliveries to finish the game for Hampshire.
In chase of a target score of 142 runs, Middlesex got to 21/6 in the 18th over but Afridi ripped out John Simpson, Steven Finn, Thilan Walallawita and Tim Murtagh's tumps in consecutive deliveries to guide Hampshire to victory.
