Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Afridi broke the record for the most expensive spell in Pakistan World Cup history on Saturday as he conceded 90 runs in 10 wicketless overs against New Zealand.
Pakistan, known for its dangerous pace attack, has been struggling in the ICC World Cup 2023. Their main pacers, Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf, have not been as effective as expected in the match against New Zealand.
New Zealand set an imposing total of 401-6 with Rachin Ravindra achieving his third World Cup century and skipper Kane Williamson contributing a valiant 95 runs to their team's effort.
Their stellar performances catapulted New Zealand to a commanding total, putting Pakistan in a precarious position in the competition.
New Zealand's Rachin Ravindra exhibited his formidable prowess by notching up his third century of the tournament, while Kane Williamson narrowly missed out on a century of his own.
Shaheen Afridi conceded 90 runs in 10 wicketless overs, breaking the record for the most expensive spell in Pakistan World Cup history.
He surpassed Haris Rauf who had conceded 85 runs in 10 overs against the same team just 17 minutes earlier.
