Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi on Sunday beat Australia’s Steve Smith and Rohit Sharma of India to create a new world record in T20 cricket after he led Lahore Qalandars to their maiden P🌟akistan Super League (PSL) title triumph at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Sunday.
With win over Multan Sultan, the 21-year-old Afridi has become the youngest captain to win a T20 league. He surpassed Smith, who at the age of 22 led Sydney Sixers to victory in the 2012 Big Bash League (BBL), and Rohit, who at the age of 26 propelled Mumbai Indians (MI) to their first Indian Premier League (IPL) title in 2013.
Brief scores (PSL 2022 final): Lahore Qalandars 180/5 in 20 overs (Mohammad Hafeez 69, Harry Brook 41 not out, David Wiese 28 not out; Asif Afridi 3-19) beat Multan Sultans 138 all 🥃out in 19.3 overs (Khushdil Shah 32; Shaheen Afridi 3-30, Mohammad Hafeez 2-23) by 42 runs.
