The teenager, who was making his tournament debut, guided Pakistan to an enthralling win over Afghanistan in the second match of Super 4s by helping them reach their 129-run goal. Afghanistan were the favourites to win the game as Pakistan men needed 11 runs from the last over with just one wicket in hand. However, Naseem Shah won the thriller in Sarjah for the men in green by smashing two sixes on Fazalhaq Farooqi’s first two deliveries.
The 19-year-old drew a lot of limelight after his sensational spells in the Asia Cup 2022. Naseem Shah scalped 7 wickets in five innings at an economy rate of 7.66.
“Humbled to auction off my sixer bat from the Pak Vs. Afghan Asia Cup match for @SAFoundationN Flood Relief Campaign across Pakistan. Grateful to @SAfridiOfficial for taking such a noble initiative! Support them in ensuring #HopeNotOut,” Naseem Shah tweeted on Thursday.
