Shaheen Afridi was at his best with the bat in the first innings of Pakistan Super League final on Saturday as he struck an unbeaten 44 off only 15 balls to help his side Lahore Qalandars post a total of 200 for 6 against Multan Sultans at the Gaddafi Stadium.

His knock that had a strike rate of 293.33 included two fours and five sixes. Lahore Qalandars were 112 for 5 in 14.1 overs when Shaheen came in to bat.

What followed was absolute carnage from the captain as he eventually helped his side post a daunting total on the board. As soon as the innings of Lahore Qalandars ended, the players of the team were quick to acknowledge the contribution of Shaheen.

Spin bowling all-rounder Rashid Khan waited on the stairs before the dressing room to receive Shaheen before other players also joined him to applaud the southpaw for his knock.
