Watch: Shaheen Shah Afridi nails yorker, then sends middle stump cartwheeling in sensational T20 Blast death over

by Wisden Staff 1 minute read

Watch: Shaheen Shah Afridi claimed two Leicestershire wickets in the final over of the run chase with perfectly aimed yorkers during a T20 Blast game for Nottinghamshire.

Shaheen had made his way over to the Edgbaston stadium to watch the first Ashes Test match on Monday. He was back to his usual self when he returned to Grace Road a day later for a T20 Blast game. Leicestershire needed 29 when he began the last over, and he started off by conceding a four on the first ball to Wiaan Mulder.

However, Shaheen had the last laugh. Mulder tried to play across the off stump, but was left searching for answers as the yorker went on to dismantle his off stump. Three balls later, Shaheen was at it again, this time sending back Michael Finan with another toe-crusher. Finan looked to dance down the track to take on the bowler, but was unable to make any contact as the middle stump was uprooted.

Shaheen ended with figures of 2-28 as Nottinghamshire won by 22 runs.
