Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Afridi, who is making his Big Bash League debut, endured a poor performance with the ball for Brisbane Heat against Melbourne Renegades. The left-arm fast bowler conceded runs at a brisk pace and failed to complete his third over, forcing a teammate to step in and finish it.
Tim Seifert became the first batsman to reach three figures in this year’s Big Bash League. After a steady start, the New Zealand opener changed gears dramatically and punished the Brisbane Heat attack with six sixes and nine fours. The Renegades posted a strong score of 212 for 5 in Geelong on Monday, 15 December.
Shaheen Afridi faced a tough start in BBL
Shaheen Afridi’s Big Bash League career had a very difficult start. Pakistan’s fast bowlers struggled to control the ball and proved costly once they came into attack.
Afridi bowled the 18th over and gave 17 runs on just four valid balls. The left-arm fast bowler bowled three no-balls, including two beamers, in the same over, due to which he was dropped from the attack.
Afridi could not complete the over and Nathan McSweeney was asked to bowl the remaining balls. McSweeney conceded a four and a run to end the over.
Very good.
