Pakistan’s premier fast bowler Shaheen Afridi, who joined Fortune Barishal mid-series after leaving South Africa, continues to struggle in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2024-25. Playing his second match for the team, Shaheen failed to make an impact with the ball, conceding 31 runs in just three overs without picking up a single wicket against Rangpur Riders.

This performance follows another disappointing outing in his first match, where the left-arm pacer also went wicketless. Over two games, Afridi has bowled a total of six overs, giving away 64 runs at an economy rate of 9.14, with no breakthroughs to his name.

Rangpur Riders Exploit Shaheen Afridi’s Bowling

In Match 6 against Rangpur Riders, Afridi was unable to trouble the opposition batters. Both Alex Hales and Saif Hassan attacked him with ease, capitalizing on any loose deliveries. Afridi’s overs proved costly as he struggled to find his rhythm and control on the Barishal pitch.

His inability to pick up wickets at the top or restrict runs in the middle overs has been a major concern for Fortune Barishal, who have relied on him as a spearhead of their bowling attack.

Shaheen Afridi’s arrival in the BPL 2024-25 was highly anticipated, with fans expecting the ace bowler to replicate his international success. However, his performances so far have raised questions about his form and fitness.

As the tournament progresses, all eyes will be on Shaheen Afridi to see if he can bounce back and deliver the kind of performances he is known for. Fortune Barishal will need their star pacer to step up soon if they aim to turn their campaign around.
