The world knows what Pakistan swing exponent Shaheen Shah Afridi can do to opposition teams. But his opening partner Naseem Shah can make an impression too. Take their last Asia Cup game against India in Kandy on September 2 for example.
While Afridi claimed the wickets of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja while returning figures of 4-35, Naseem claimed 3-36 in 8.5 overs, although he sent back lesser batsmen like Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah.
