Former Pakistan cricketer and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ramiz Raja mentioned a somewhat controversial line throughout commentary of his nation’s second T20I recreation in opposition to South Africa. In the course of the recreation, pacer Shaheen Afridi was hit on the shoulder by a strong shot by South Africa’s Rassie van der Dussen within the seventeenth over. It was a fortunate escape for Shaheen, who may have suffered a critical harm had the ball hit his face. After therapy from the physio, Shaheen was capable of full his over. Nevertheless, Ramiz Raja made a startling comment on commentary.
The controversial comment on participant security precipitated followers on social media to criticise Raja’s feedback.
Shaheen endured a troublesome recreation within the second T20I, as Pakistan have been unable to defend a giant whole of 205. South Africa reached the goal with three balls to spare, as Reeza Hendricks slammed a century (117 off 63) and van der Dussen smashed a fifty (66 off 38).
Shaheen went wicketless in his spell. Regardless of opening over, Shaheen ended up leaking 37 runs in his 4 overs.
Nevertheless, Shaheen was spectacular within the first T20I, having completed with figures of three/22.
Within the second T20I, batting first, Pakistan had made a commendable whole of 205. 22-year-old opener Saim Ayub’s 98 off 57 balls set the tone, whereas late cameos by Irfan Khan and Abbas Afridi took Pakistan past 200.
Nevertheless, the bowling let down the batting on this event. Besides Abrar Ahmed, each Pakistan bowler conceded greater than 9 runs an over. Haris Rauf and Abbas Afridi’s economic system charges have been 14 and 13 respectively.
The defeat handed Pakistan a second successive away T20I collection loss below the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan.
