Cricket Council (ICC) elite panel umpire from Pakistan, Asad Rauf died following a cardiac arrest in Lahore. Rauf was 66. Rauf officiated in 64 Tests -- 49 as an on-field umpire, 15 as the third umpire; 139 ODIs (98 on-field, 41 as third umpire); and 28 T20Is (23 on-field, 5 as third umpire).

In a matter of four overs, at the same venue where Afridi had dismantled India last October, Naseem staked his claim as the most lethal pacer in this tournament. Pakistan captain Babar Azam, in fact, went on to state after the match, "The way Naseem started, we didn't feel that we were missing Shaheen." Baby-faced and all of five-foot-seven inches, at first glance Naseem doesn't appear to be the quintessential tearaway, someone who can breach the 90-mph barrier with consistency. What is astounding is that he took to formal coaching barely five years ago.
