Shaheen Afridi’s Lahore Qalandars reigned supreme on Mohammad Rizwan’s Multan Sultans on Sunday, March 18 as they clinched a cliffhanger by the barest of margins (one run) to win the eighth edition of the Pakistan Super League.

While Shaheen was at his supreme best with the ball in hand as he bagged a crucial four-for at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium to help his side win the second consecutive title, it was his stunning cameo with the willow that helped Qalandars to put up a majestic total on the board in the first place.

As soon as Sikandar Raza got dismissed on the first ball of the 15th over off Khushdil Shah, Shaheen was seen charging on to the field and it also surprised his teammate David Wiese who was originally due to bat at the no. seven slot. Shaheen was seen going ahead of Wiese and scored 44 runs of just 15 balls.
