Shaheen Afridi six-for helps Pakistan end on a high

By Saurabh Sharma July 06, 2019 • 07:04 AM View: 1718

London, July 6 (CRICKETNMORE): Shaheen Shah Afridi snared six wickets and returned with best ever figures (6/35) by a Pakistan bowler in a World Cup, but his team failed to better their net run-rate in their final group game against Bangladesh which they won by 94 runs at the Lord's on Friday, helping New Zealand qualify for the semifinals as the fourth team.

With fifth-placed Pakistan needing to break the world record for margin of victory in a one-day international, ton-up Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam shared a 157-run second wicket stand to guide Pakistan to 315/9 in 50 overs after skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed opted to bat.
