This was seen by Afridi bowling in the 11th over of Islamabad’s innings. Hussein Talat played Afridi’s fifth delivery of the over with light hands and ran to take a run. Standing on the other end, Iftikhar Ahmad also ran to Talaat’s call, but was unable to run faster than Afridi. Afridi picked up the ball on his follow-up and hit a straight stump at the end of the batting. Iftikhar Ahmad Afridi was quick in the back and could not reach the crease. Shahid Afridi’s side may have lost in this match, but Afridi took 2 wickets for just 24 runs in his four overs.
