Afridi's Tough Debut: 24-Run Over Haunts Captaincy Start as Pakistan Falls to NZ

gautam

Friday's T20I match saw Pakistan play its first innings of cricket under Shaheen Afridi's captaincy against New Zealand. But things didn't go as planned for Afridi's captaincy debut, as the team lost by 46 runs in Auckland. This was an expensive affair even for bowler Afridi, who gave up 24 runs in an over against Finn Allen in his second innings, as Pakistan gave up a massive 226/8 in 20 overs. With two overs remaining, the visitors were similarly bowled out for 180.
