Lahore Qalandars captain Shaheen Shah Afridi bowled a ripper of a delivery to send back Peshawar Zalmi skipper Babar Azam in their Pakistan Super League encounter on Sunday. Before getting his stumps knocked over, Babar had started the 241 run chase on the front foot by hitting Afridi for two fours in the 3rd over. In the same over, however, Afridi would strike. He bowled a fullish length around off which moved in after pitching. Babar tried to drive but the ball passed through the gap between bat and pad and knocked the Pakistan skipper's stumps over. 🦅🆚👑The riveting battle between two of the finest cricketers in the world 💫#HBLPSL8 | #SabSitarayHumaray | #LQvPZ pic.twitter.com/svSx7KcUn4— PakistanSuperLeague (@thePSLt20) February 26, 2023 Earlier, Abdullah Shafique and Fakhar Zaman helped Lahore set a 242-run target against Peshawar.
