Shaheen Afridi stunned everyone by taking 4 wickets in the first over of the innings for Nottinghamshire Outlaws during the T20 Blast encounter against Birmingham Bears on Friday. While the Outlaws were defeated in the match, the Pakistan pacer earned major praise for his brilliant performance. Former India opener Aakash Chopra lauded Shaheen and spoke specifically about how he kept bowling full which ultimately proved to be a great strategy. He added that some of the balls from Shaheen were completely unplayable and the swing he produces is one of his biggest assets.

The Pakistan pacer dismissed Alex Davies (0), Chris Benjamin (0), Dan Mousley (1) and Ed Bernard (0), respectively.

The incident happed in the 11th over of Hampshire's chase. Haider failed to connect with Danny Briggs' overpitched delivery. Although Warwickshire's wicketkeeper Alex Davies failed to grab the ball initially, Haider's casual attempt to get back gave him another opportunity to effect the stumping.
