Lahore Qalandars skipper Shaheen Shah Afridi lit up the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Sunday after bowling a sensational first over against the Quetta Gladiators in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022’s 19th match.
Shaheen elected to bat first after winning the toss. The decision proved to be a good one as the Qalandars put the Gladiators in a difficult situation from the very first over.
Shaheen started the inning with two wickets and gave away just a single run.
A clip of the first over of the 2nd inning by Shaheen was shared on the Pakistan Super League official Twitter handle.
