Shaheen Afridi cleans up Jos Buttler
The tall left-arm pacer from Pakistan, Shaheen Afridi is a highly skilled bowler and he often produces beauties to dismiss batters, irrespective of the formats. Shaheen possesses the ability to consistently bowl accurate Yorkers, delivered at a high speed, with late movement and excellent control. He once again gave a glimpse of his unreal talent when he got rid of England superstar Jos Buttler with a stunning yorker in the ongoing T20 Blast tournament.

It all happened during the clash between Nottinghamshire and Lanacashire at Trent Bridge on Sunday when Afridi stunned Buttler with a sensational delivery. Once Lancashire chose to bat first, Buttler and Phil Salt provided a blistering start to their innings. Opening the batting, the pair amassed 33 runs in just 3.2 overs. However, it took an exceptional effort from Shaheen to break their partnership.

On the second ball of the third over Afridi delivered a deadly yorker from over the wicket, directed towards Buttler’s legs. The English batter was left completely deceived as the white leather knocked over the off stump.

Speaking about the game, Lancashire, after opting to bat, were bundled out for 145 in 18.3 overs. Liam Livingstone (34 off 30) and Daryl Mitchell (31 off 20) were the top-scorers for the touring party. Shaheen bagged two wickets for 25 runs in 3 overs while Matthew Carter picked up three scalps for 26 in his quota of 4 overs.

In response, the hosts chased down the target in 18.5 overs with five wickets in hand. Opening batsman Joe Clarke played a standout innings for Nottinghamshire, top-scoring with a remarkable 42 runs off just 24 balls. His innings included six boundaries and two sixes.

It is worth mentioning that Shaheen has been in exceptional form during the T20 Blast, having claimed 10 wickets in seven matches at an economy rate of 9.07. Recently, he also demonstrated his batting prowess against Worcestershire when he smashed Michael Bracewell for four consecutive sixes in a single over.
